Like a military, stable currency (under attack right now) and opportunity to succeed. That is enough for the Federal government to provide. Let states compete with each other for the rest.

Yes, tell New Orleans to go screw themselves. It's not Oregon's problem Katrina hit.

You never address anything realistically. Any and all real math is shot down or completely ignored. Any arguments that point out what is wrong are responded to with something meant to tug at the heartstrings. I feel bad for you, your life must be awful for you to spend so much time here trying to convince people that the federal government is and should be the cure all for everyone's problems.
Perhaps GE could donate their fair share and that would take care of an awful lot were the government capable, in any way, of handling money. Obama should just ask Immelt for the money that company should have paid just last year alone and solve these issues for millions of your downtrodden.
You are unable to learn or even look at things from any other perspective than your own. I am through debating with you, it is pointless.

LOL - I'm not the one with the talking points.

Go ahead, you be realistic, and you tell Joey why he doesn't deserve "charity" from us.

Then let me assure you, so your concerned mind can rest at ease: my life is pretty damn wonderful, thanks.

I have never said the federal government should be the cure all for everyone's problems. Why do you misrepresent what I say?

Yes, because you don't have any facts or figures at hand to try and convince people of the validity of your argument in an objective manner. "You know what you know", and damn, it's sure not being a willing contributing member of this American society, apparently.

would i be better off with my own money elsewhere? sure...everyone who could put it somewhere else would be better off. but that doesn't do many others any good, which is why we're stuck with the program-right? right. so, put what you can afford elsewhere, because you still need to rely on yourself.
