[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]None of these dopes can follow the money.[b] Wherever he lives in NC [/b]is almost certainly receiving more from the government than they pay in, and it isn’t going mostly to poor people. A lot of it is going to military bases and defense contractors, a lot is Social Security and Medicare, plus military retirement and Tricare since NC has a lot of military retirees. And the benefits that do go to poor people pay almost all the money directly to local businesses and institutions (hospitals, doctors, pharmacies, nursing homes, schools, grocery stores, and their vendors and employees), providing a lot of good jobs in the community. It’s just ridiculous how all these guys think that military contracts are private sector money but payments to hospitals are government waste. When I worked in Congress, the biggest complainers about government spending were retired military working for defense contractors and listening to Rush Limbaugh on the job. [/quote]

NC?   Everything I've read about him says he lives in Farmville, VA.[/quote]
