Are you suggesting that money wouldn't get spent otherwise? Rather it go to Kalifornia? When you come up with a plan to eliminate all PORK all together, not just in the State you hate, we will be all ears. Did Shelby quit funding your little "hand it to me" business, no more pass-thrus, no more set asides, no more IDIQ? You love the Government train as long as it passes thru your depot. You ever earned any work for a living or is that Government Contract Teat all you ever had?
Yes, as long as the conservatives fail to live up to their professed beliefs, there will be no improvement. As long as I get my check, I dont care how mush debt the Congress runs up, and neither do you.
Well admitting it is usually halfway to solving the problem. I'm not on the Gov't teat. I cut costs from it, actually, said many times before abolish the IRS, simplify tax code to about 5 pages or less, eliminate ALL tax loopholes period, standardize tax rates and leave them alone, forever, let states stand on their own, etc. Yes I do care about the debt.
