>> However, since you feel that way........why don't you demand that the gov't stop giving the money to the poorer states that gets put into the pot by citizens from the richer states? If you don't like redistributing cash in that manner, why do you all allow the redistribution on the state level? Because its to your state's benefit?

I advocate massive cuts in spending all the way around. I would cut the federal budget by 1/3 tomorrow, if it were up to me.

It is silly, though, for you to continue bringing this up. We deal with unfunded federal mandates all the time. Get rid of those, and we can quit taking federal money in excess of what we pay in.

Of course, in Louisiana's case, they get it for different reasons: Obama pays Mary Landreau for her vote.
