Nope, what you call underfunding I call more making more efficient. Cut out the waste and fraud and most agencies have more than enough to run fine. These agencies are like crack addicts, they just keep coming back for more and more. If you don't give it to them, people like you say we hate the kids, elderly, poor, etc. Everyone and every agency has to make sacrifices. If they need more money it's time to find it from within.
14.3 trillion defecit can't keep going up.
We all have to live within budgets at our businesses and our homes, it's not too much to ask that the government does the same. They can't just keep asking for more. I know, I know, I know, "but Bush and republicans caused the deficit". I dont give a damn who caused it anymore, all I know is now we got it. We need trillions in cuts to get out of this jam. I'm more than happy to pay more if Obama asks, BUT ONLY if he makes major sacrifices too.
12M illegals. 77 Welfare programs. $300M in food stamp fraud. $500M to first time home buyers that weren't...some were prison inmates. The list goes on and on and on and on of taxpayer dollars wasted. Do they correct the problem? No, they are "underfunded", they 'll just ask for more. It's bullshit really.

Here's the govt waste report that there has been no action on at all -

I understand where you're coming from, there is a lot of waste.
What sucks though is just today Medicaid denied my request for repairs for my wheelchair, and Invacare wants to charge me 1200 dollars to fix it. I was told medicaid changed it's rules for wheelchairs in January 2011. I'm glad my being mobile is considered waste to Ohio. I know me getting my wheelchair fixed would not upset you, or really any tax payers, but yet year after year I'm hurting more and more all in the name of a balanced budget.
