Leave it to Maxine (the cartoon character)

Leave it to Maxine to come up with a solution for the mess that America is in economically now

I bought a bird feeder. I hungit on my back porch and filledit with seed. What a beauty ofa bird feeder it was, as I filled it lovingly with seed. Within aweek we had hundreds of birdstaking advantage of thecontinuous flow of free andeasily accessible food.But then the birds startedbuilding nests in the boardsof the patio, above the table,and next to the barbecue. Then came the poop. It waseverywhere: on the patio tile,the chairs, the table ..everywhere!Then some of the birdsturned mean. They woulddive bomb me and try topeck me even though I hadfed them out of my ownpocket.And others birds wereboisterous and loud. Theysat on the feeder andsquawked and screamed atall hours of the day and nightand demanded that I fill itwhen it got low on food.After a while, I couldn't evensit on my own back porchanymore. So I took down thebird feeder and in three daysthe birds were gone. I cleanedup their mess and took downthe many nests they had builtall over the patio.Soon, the back yard was likeit used to be .... quiet, serene....and no one demanding theirrights to a free meal.Now let's see.Our government gives outfree food, subsidized housing,free medical care and freeeducation, and allows anyoneborn here to be an automaticcitizen.Then the illegals came by thetens of thousands. Suddenlyour taxes went up to pay forfree services; small apartmentsare housing 5 families; youhave to wait 6 hours to be seenby an emergency room doctor;your child's second grade class isbehind other schools becauseover half the class doesn't speakEnglish.Corn Flakes now come in abilingual box; I have to'press one ' to hear my banktalk to me in English, andpeople waving flags otherthan 'Old Glory' aresquawking and screamingin the streets, demandingmore rights and free liberties.Just my opinion, but maybeit's time for the governmentto take down the bird feeder. If you agree, pass it on; if not,continue cleaning up the poop

You are preaching to the choir! I have so many issues with the whole illegal population that I admit I'm borderline racist when it comes to it. However, it just really ticks me off that they get all of this for free and we are paying for it as they suck our economy dry...and most don't even appreciate it! We see it as teachers and Brandon sees even more money going down the tubes in the hospitals. Maybe Obama should think about sending them home and then maybe the national debt would be half of what it is!

You know I agree, but the illegals here are not our only problem. Look at how much money we pledge each year to help other nations! That's really ok, but we need to get a hand on our debt first. I know we should help others, but right now I don't think we're in the position to do that! (Especially when they not only don't appreciate it, they hate us!)
If only the regular people who live in the real world and pay their taxes (did anyone see where another one of Obama's appointees agree to pay his back taxes?) ran the country!
