(63,221 posts)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.

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?

(50,236 posts)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.

(12,712 posts)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.
