Where do people get this nonsense, and why do they actually believe it?? HOW GULLIBLE CAN YOU BE? "All" our tax dollars? For "non-citizens"? I smell contempt for the unfortunate and for people of color. Too bad you lie awake nights, wondering if someone bought a Snickers bar on your dime. Check out how much of your tax money goes to make up for corporate tax evading "inversions" and loopholes. It is much, much more than goes to social welfare programs. But I bet you don't care. The POINT is to express your inner bigot, right?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19923729.post-21020856840425660792014-08-10T09:38:32.494-04:002014-08-10T09:38:32.494-04:00Anonymous # 2 - there's always plenty of money...Anonymous # 2 - there's always plenty of money for war. <br /><br />We keep on building weapons the military doesn't want. Look up the C27 Cargo Plane, the M1A1 Abrams Tank, and of course the F35 fighter - the most expensive non functioning fighter plane ever. <br /><br />The Pentagon has NEVER been audited. It can't account for trillions. Perhaps that would be a good place to start. I assure you we don't spend trillions on the homeless. susanthehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05960705109051557790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19923729.post-19794691691854025882014-08-10T09:26:15.837-04:002014-08-10T09:26:15.837-04:00To the above comment, I must respectfully disagree...To the above comment, I must respectfully disagree. "Liberals" (a loose term at best, since in the US there is no such thing), most certainly don't believe in the gushing money spigot. Rather, we don't wish to see folks rotting under bridges, and the future resource (children) being squandered. There are always individuals in our world who for whatever reason cannot function the way we'd like them too. What do we allow to happen to them? Literally, throw them under bridges? Also, if the right wing wasn't so fanatical about abortion, there would be less population and economically this would be better. If the right cared as much about adults and children as they did for the unborn, clearly there would not be the problems there are. Higher population equates to more problems. The right believes in taking care of these issues in other countries where they can murder and bomb brown folk. The hypocrisy is rather transparent and with the right this is all that is. I personally don't believe in abortion, but there are other worse ills such as the incapability of caring from birth to adulthood for an individual.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19923729.post-91193068190994554682014-08-09T23:36:48.871-04:002014-08-09T23:36:48.871-04:00Maybe if we stopped spending all of our tax dollar...Maybe if we stopped spending all of our tax dollars on providing for non-citizens and citizens who expect the rest of us to provide for their every need, we would have something in the budget for infrastructure projects.<br /><br />You Liberals just kill me: you just think the tax spigot is endless.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19923729.post-44521887139244362402014-08-08T11:41:49.918-04:002014-08-08T11:41:49.918-04:00Dunno about California, heard a lotta bad things a...Dunno about California, heard a lotta bad things about the place but I haven't been out there in years. Up here, north of the Notch, we relaid every water pipe in town three summers ago. Dug up Main St from end to end. Then we replaced a smallish highway bridge over the Gale River, and the next summer we replaced a bigger iron truss bridge over the Ammonoosuc River. And another Gale River bridge is scheduled for replacement next year. We rebuilt the local middle school and the high school from ground up four years ago. And the town fire station is being rebuilt, again from the ground up, right now. And we repaved I93 yet again. All and all, we been doing our bit keeping infrastructure in tip top shape up here. A lot better than they do in New York. If LA cannot keep their water pipes in repair, that's an LA problem, not an NH one.

Nothing has ever changed but rather as a nation we have seriously declined. Maine has been addressing its serious aging water infrastructure problem for a few years now. For some bizarre reason, we cannot extricate ourselves from the cycle of blind stupidity. We are for decades now stuck with the same idiocy reflected by the right. Their self centered and uncreative "policies" if they can even be called that, have broken our nation. And this from the exact same party that screams "Patriotism" and condemns anyone as being unpatriotic if even a whiff of disagreement is uttered.<br /><br />It is unpatriotic to allow a state and nation to wallow in such disrepair that we will decline to an unindustrialized state. It is unpatriotic to not consider the future by making repairs and fixing things RIGHT NOW. So many elected individuals are too busy feathering their own nests to care about the tree they live in. <br /><br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19923729.post-10394006398105462982014-08-08T05:39:31.494-04:002014-08-08T05:39:31.494-04:00Couldn't agree more.
