After 8 years of the GOP spending money like drunken Sailors they now are singing the gospel of fiscal prudence and want to slash domestic spending mostly on programs that help the working class and poor. They are now deficit hawks and most of their support is coming from Teabag conservative southern states. Here's what I say. Let's force them to walk the talk and Federally defund the states. That is, they can only recieve tax dollars in federal spending equivalent to what they pay the Federal Government in taxes. It's these southern conservative states which have been on the Federal welfare dole for far to long. It's time they supported themselves and stopped leaching and mooching from the more productive liberal states.
Here are the top 10 Federal Welfare staes and the Federal funding they recieve for each tax dollar they spent in 2005.
Mississippi - $2.02
Alaska - $1.84
Louisianna - $1.78
West Virginia - $1.76
Alabama - $1.66
Kentucky - $1.51
Virginia - $1.51
Arkansas - $1.41
South Carolina - $1.35
Tennessee - $1.27
These Federal spending welfare mooches can now walk the talk and live with in their means and stop being leaches from us more liberal States. So they should have no problem, if they are true conservatives and teabaggers, then they should have no problem capping federal spending in their states to the amount that they pay to the Federal Government in taxes.
By the way here are the top 10 liberal northern states who've been funding these southern conservative federal welfare queens.
New Jersey - $0.61
Connecticut - $0.69
Minnesotta - $0.72
Illionois - $0.75
California - $0.78
New York - $0.79
Colorado - $0.81
Massachusetts - $0.82
Wisconsin - $0.86
Michigan - $0.92
So let's defund the southern welfare states and return those money to the northern liberal states who produced that wealth and allow them to use that to resolve their own state budget crisis. What could possibly be wrong with this idea?
