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.
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.

The US economy NEEDS that money. Take it out and you have this.
The people losing their jobs, and it will be more than those in the public sector, will take to the streets. And don't say it won't happen in the US.

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.

And if you do that, it might be soldiers rioting. As Romney has promised to boost military spending by 2 trillion. That won't happen.
Still this thread is clearly about peoples personal wealth and getting more in their pockets. With a
attitude towards others. That's what got the world in this mess. Yes Robbie the world and the election of the Government of America effects us all. Like the problems in Greece.
