[quote=Anonymous]The other thing is the financial impact on communities if welfare was cut off.  Poorer communities would see even more businesses close, even more crime.  I think most people would agree that people should not get paid to do nothing.  But the anger at poor people is disproportionate to the actual cost to the government.  But no congressman would ever vote to close an unnecessary military base in their district because it would have a devastating impact on the local economy.

See the parallel?

Lots of money in DC/N.VA from military contracts and other federal spending that is most likely unnecessary.  LOOK AROUND YOU.  Where do you think all this money comes from?  Please read the Reuters article I linked before.  $700M in surplus military parts that are not needed.  14 years worth of Humvee parts, sitting on a shelf, unused, not needed.  Do a little reading on the F-35.  Why not cut back those contracts?  Oh, wait- that might affect some of your jobs.  Corporate welfare and TRILLIONS of dollars to white collars is fine, even though its the true reason our country is bankrupt.

Got it.

Go back to hating poor black women who do nothing but screw all day.[/quote]
