Who Is Going to Bailout Public, Inc.?

Someone explain this to me. The country has no money to help the poor, to support education, or help offset the cost of medical care. The country has - as some say - a failing social security system, and has pretty much thrown its seniors under the bus for "lack of funds." At the beginning of Bush's term, he had a Clinton surplus.


So not paying for anything remotely relating to public health, safety, education, or security, where did all the money go? At the same time, money suddenly appears in the form of trillions to pay for an illegal war and bailout companies who have already robbed the public and are now robbing the public again through bailouts.
