And by the way since this whole discussion has got me in an uproar let me say this. We are not Liberia here. Aid to us should not be conditioned on Regime change as some have put it. I am sure that that the liberal programs other states have and fund because they can do so because my tax dollars fund other essential services in your State doesnt mean I have a right to say no aid unless you get rid of yalls elected officials. For instance if a major disaster hit San Franscisco(not to pick on it) I dont think it would be morally right to withold aid untill the good citizens of Califoornia got rid of their horrible legislature and removed Nancy Peliosi from office. "Regime change will occur" but it will occur at the next election. We cannot wait two years and not start solving the problems here. Hurricane season will not wait for the next election
So solve them. What are you waiting for? What is it you need? As long as you get food to eat and water to drink from the government, rebuild using the sweat of your brow. You owe it to the taxpayers.
And I mean "you" collectively. Not personally.
