HOW WOULD YOU MAKE UP THE SHORTFALL on #2?Great. Turn down the programs so we blue staters can save some money you leeches.According to the link, one of the primary reasons states are dependent on the federal government is because of expanding federal programs, and that many states frequently ask the federal government to back off and let them deal with things themselves.
Call me crazy, but it sounds to me like the liberals are creating this monster, just so they can bitch about it later.
That would be fantastic.
1) Repeal Obamacare
2) Cut Social Security, medicare, food stamps, and all other welfare by 50%.
3) Reduce defense spending by 10%.
4) Eliminate all income taxes on the bottom 95% of people.
And presto! Budgetary surplus.
HOW WOULD YOU MAKE UP THE SHORTFALL on #2?
Take Food Stamps for instance. I can generally find the statistis for all programs at Pew ResearchDoes anyone have a breakdown of the political affiliation of the people who "depend on the federal government?" There are charts, graphs and polls about everything under the sun so surely there's something showing whether the freeloaders have a political persuasion or not.
Good question....I suspect you know the answer

Democrats are about twice as likely as Republicans to have received food stamps at some point in their lives—a participation gap that echoes the deep partisan divide in the U.S. House of Representatives, which on Thursday produced a farm bill that did not include funding for the food stamp program.
Overall, a Pew Research Center surveyconducted late last year found that about one-in-five Americans (18%) has participated in the food stamp program, formally known as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. About a quarter (26%) lives in a household with a current or former food stamp recipient.
Of these, about one-in-five (22%) of Democrats say they had received food stamps compared with 10% of Republicans. About 17% of political independents say they have received food stamps.
The share of food stamp beneficiaries swells even further when respondents are asked if someone else living in their household had ever received food stamps. According to the survey, about three in ten Democrats (31%) and about half as many Republicans (17%) say they or someone in their household has benefitted from the food stamp program.

That's great and all but in the red states, which have the highest rate of food stamp participation, there are far more republicans than Democrats. So though democrats have a higher percentage there are far more republicans using food stamps. Just like how according to your statistics black people have a higher participation rate for food stamps, but there are far far more white people on food stamps than black people.Take Food Stamps for instance.

They cannot help themselves. The vast majority of cons are entitlement junkies.Great.

First, you need to demonstrate that your emotional description actually matches the reality.
Second, you need to learn how to rely on yourself, and learn that other people must do the same.
Libs should stick it to the conservative states and shrink government, a lot.
We can start at 50%.
Percentages are what matters. You know, just like a batting average? WTF does Blue vs. Red have to do with percentage?That's great and all but in the red states, which have the highest rate of food stamp participation, there are far more republicans than Democrats. So though democrats have a higher percentage there are far more republicans using food stamps.

nice attempt at spin. what I said was you've already avoided the question..the award for best rationalization and dodging in a thread goes to....
Are you saying that you're gong to dodge the question? You're not going to be bothered to demonstrate that the people removed from welfare would be sick homeless people?
I hope I'm there the day you need any one of those programs.. it'll be hilarious...
No such day will ever come. I'm self reliant. I maintain a job, I don't have kids I can't afford, and I live within my means.
I was going to say that everything you listed is part of the House Budget, but the GOP didn't want the bottom 95% not to pay taxes. And I'm sure they don't want to reduce the said all the programs by 50%.
But with all the cuts they want to impose, they also want to increase spending on the military. I guess it isn't enough that the US spends more on the military than the next seven top countries spend on their military's combined.
And it doesn't matter if they are reducing benefits on the elderly who for the most part, live on fixed incomes and can't afford the GOP's version of prosperity for America..
