Woo Hoo!! Lets dig up Jeff Davis too!!! ;-)

This does surprise me, because that federal money is more addictive then crack cocaine. I doubt if they actually go through with it, but it does send a strong message to DC.

To: do the dhue
Think of how much more we and the States would have if the money wasn't going to the Feds.

Our state reps and senators are just trying to get back a slim slice of what the Feds took out of the states.

So it is really not sucking at the teat of the federal government as much as a pushing and shoving match to get back some of the money.

The feds on their own generate very little money except in fines so they have to make it up by extorting the people and the states.

Of course, taking so much money from the states and then dangling money out as a carrot is a way of controlling the states and keeping them dependent.
