19. I've been saying that for years
and posting it here for almost as long


I get slammed with things like "poor people depend on those funds".

The focus needs to be on removing pork projects and money for things like improved roads, not for welfare or food stamps.

Allowing states to have full representation while taking from the federal government more than it contributes amounts to representation without taxation (on a state level).


I'm glad someone else posted this, a bit late but better late than never. We should have done this as part of the fight against the extension of the Shrub tax cuts.
