You guys blame us for everything even your own failures.. Yep those Democrats even know how to make a red state dependent on welfare dollars, and then the Democrats have their spokespersons like yourself telling all of us the results of just how far the dependency goes or that it cuts all the way to the bone. So your laughing at red states because they have been made dependent by the Democrats also, and how dare they try to escape ? Wow who knew that the Democrat plantation extended so far. Wow.You will never see red states give up their federal welfare dollars because they know that those dollars and food stamps gives their economies a shot in the arm. They know if they cut people off from welfare, they will leave. That exodus would take a huge bite out of their economy and probably inflict serious injury to their pocketbooks.I'd like to see that list of red states that don't need welfare $ for their poor.If they have a boatload of people that are on welfare, what would you expect them to do, just cut them off?
And even if that were possible, would the federal government even allow it since it is federal dollars?
Maine has created restrictions for people on food stamps. If you want to collect and you have no children, you have to do one of three things: have a job where you work at least 20 hours per week, be enrolled in a vocational program, or do volunteer work for 20 hours a month.
Guess what? Many of those people dropped out of the food stamp program. It seems they weren't all that hungry after all.
BUt what plans have the red states generated to make people self sufficient? Aren't red state governments being part of the problem if they take and disseminate federal welfare benefits to their poor? I am waiting for the paradigm they keep preaching about to unfold. Show me the red state where they don't take federal welfare and where poverty is managed humanely through philanthropy.
The other day you guys were saying places like Detroit suck because they are run by liberals. Now you're claiming cities and states run by cons suck because of liberals? What an intellectually dishonest simpleton you are
"Us"? "You guys"? What the hell are you talking about?
