Come on Tony..."States have got less fed dollars because everyone wants to cut spending."
Really? Is that how it works?
States are going bankrupt because of their own bloated bureaucracy and budgets that got used to the "fat" times over the last two decades.
And I'm completely unaware that federal funds to anything are dictated by what "everyone wants"
I wonder what's going to happen if the economy doesn't turn around and the federal govt. goes completely bankrupt? Where do all those federal funds come from when there are NO federal funds left?
10.6 billion dollars a day in federal spending. Every day. Hasn't even slowed down.
You'd think with all that spending that everything would be funded up to the maximum.
Let's bring home all the troops and the deployments throughout Europe and the rest of the world. Cut that military budget down to the bone.
THEN we'd have plenty of money to hire more teachers and govt. employees and pay for everyone in the country to go to the doctor and give every homeless person a new house and any other do-gooder, bleeding heart, wealth re-distribution scheme that Democrats can think of.
I'd rather watch our govt. go bankrupt and fucking over hard working folks in that manner than to spend it on killing people worldwide and making the military industrial complex filthy rich.
10.6 billion dollars every day in federal spending. And borrowing 4 billion of that every day.
Just outrageous.
