Okay, I gotta get this off my chest too regarding politics and louisiana.....

Yo Dre!!! I got somethin to say....

This is what I am talking about in all these political threads to you conservatives that always tell me how you cut taxes and regulations and blah blah blah....let the free market work....blah blah blah less government....blah blah blah self reliance blah blah blah......Obama sucks blah blah blah.

Now these people are crying about Obama not cutting his vacations short because this state has no funding. Why? Because they drastically cut Taxes. Yes, the former republican bobby Jindal cut taxes and ran his state with the blah blah blah republican playbook and this place is a mess.

Now, you are looking for government? You spent years bad mouthing Obama and government spending....and now you what? Need Obama and government spending.

Millions of people don't live anywhere on an island onto themselves without needing government at some point. Everyone doesn't have rich daddys and grand daddys. When you have a large number of people you need to rely on government if you are poor and being poor doesn't mean you asked for something to happen to you. You don't ask for floods or sickness or fires or police. You have to pay taxes to run a city, state, and federal government.

just because free markets are good for markets, doesn't mean that federal dollars aren't needed for natural disasters; really bad analogy

No, not really a bad analogy. Where do you think that money comes from? The sky? This comes from taxes and a state can tax for this stuff. The state is a complete mess. It is upside down. Bobby Jindal did a horrible job using this republican playbook.

Look the example is the federal government plays a very important role in our lives. There are a lot of things that happen due to no fault of our own. It is why I refuse to allow someone that thinks there should be less or no government running the government. These people start talking about cutting things that are important.

Hell, during one presidential debate the governor of Texas didn't even know what department he wanted to cut. He either didn't know or couldn't remember them. He just wanted to cut them because he knows the republican playbook. Less government so cut it so we don't pay for it. Who cares if people need it. Cut it anyway.
