The Twit tweets: Why should the people and taxpayers of America be bailing out poorly run states

Why should the people and taxpayers of America be bailing out poorly run states (like Illinois, as example) and cities, in all cases Democrat run and managed, when most of the other states are not looking for bailout help? I am open to discussing anything, but just asking?

Exactly! The republicans really haven't thought this argument through, have they?

The money going for bailouts is taxpayer money and should be going back to entities (states, local governments) who are going to spend it on services that will help the taxpayer. Not on irresponsible companies who didn't manage their finances well and will then take that money and buy back stock and give out executive bonuses, while they lay off the people at the bottom of the food chian.

Does this alarm you? This attitude will put you out of work.

And for everyone else, good luck with home schooling forever when the teachers are furloughed. And just how long will you wait when you call 911 since half the police and fire department are laid off?

On average the states who take the most "handouts" are the Rs ones that vote for morons like him.

he's been a taker all his life. If you look at the red states, we've been bailing most of them out on a yearly basis for decades. Even so, they still have the lowest marks for health care, education and employment.

Just parrots Fox News. Cuomo already laid down the hammer on that matter so STFU! Tell policemen and Firemen that they are going to lose their jobs because of your red state blue state bullshit. While you are all for bailing out corporations. Go ahead dumbass. Do it.

He said it all and very clearly.

The welfare states have been deflecting on their status for a long time. They bite the hand that feeds them.

This has to be reckoned with if they are going to project their welfare status like that and McTurtle is a Welfare King.

It's that simple.
