If you all don't think that federal money pays for things in your neck of the woods, you're not as smart as I assume you are. Stop it all then. That's fine with me.
"Stop it all then."
AMEN!!! AMEN!!!Stopping all pork barrel spending is fine with me as well. I live in Tucson Arizona and we just spent 32 million dollars on a bridge that rips the undercarriage off your car when you go over it. The schmucks that built it used a little 2 foot wide pile of asphalt to ramp cars up and down onto the bridge. Put another way. The bridge is 4-6 inches higher than the pavement leading up to it. Hitting the bridge at 40 miles an hour will jar the teeth right out of your head and scare the sh*t out of you. 32 million dollars? Please. I think I've had my fill of bridges. As with the NEA's (both of them), Post Office, BATF, DEA and all other bureaucratic sinkholes I'm tired of having my money removed from my possession when I have no say in how it's spent.
Defend our borders and nation. After than leave all spending to local and state governments.
JMHO
I have said this before. WE ALL FEED AT THE GOVERNMENT TROUTH. Those so-called conservatives that want their wallets and no government involvement don't really want that. They really want what "they" determine to be fair expenditures of tax dollars.
