14. His (and another's) response

Blaze, you are quick on the keyboard. i try not to believe most of what is on the internet, And i'm not good at flinging half truths. so you must be right and the GOP have passed no job bills and if they did the dems would bring them to a vote. conversely The senate sends bushels of job bills that never make it to a vote on the floor of the house. Republicans have horns and are agents of the devil. that may be the case but still stock up on the Rahman noodles.

And 15 min. later:

so I Googled the topic 13 million to choose from. you choose the one on top (referencing the CrooksandLiars link). I really don't have time to do that kind of extensive research.

And another person responded:

The biggest problem with the entire budget is that under a federallist concept, started by Nixon, states were required to administer federally mandated programs as they saw fit, they'd get an allotment from Washington. Over the course of time, Congress added more beneifits and requirements, and didn't fund them. The states can't print money. so in order to comply, they tax more, since they have to have balanced budgets. A great example is drunk driving. Your town or state police get $100K per officer (which doesn't cover all costs) as long as the officer or the department writes enough DUI citations. The program expires, the stte or municipality is stuck with the payroll. It's the same for Medicaid, Highways, education, etc. You add payroll and programs, and then the funding disappears or goes away. The entire budget has to be taken in this perspective, since politically, they've cleverly masked the psending mandates and gone on to create new ones, ever increasing and shifting tax loads.
