That’s a good point. Unfortunately, we all know the answer to that question. But the federal government does give quite a lot of money to the states as well. Some of it worthwhile; most of it for junk.

[Logical me]

States receive federal money every year so I guess you could say every governor has had his/her hand out every year. I guess there is no one to vote for.

Take for instance the Federal Highways in each State. Who maintains them? You have never seen a Federal work force working on them. But what you do see is State employees or Contracted repairs by the State. The Feds send highway monies for this work. Many other examples, but to down play States without some of the bloggers understand that it is the responsibility to fund Federal programs.

What the fed does is mandate programs and then pay either dollar for dollar or 66/34% on a lot of them. The more the states spend, the more they get.

Let’s face it, if you work for a living you are being robbed and as long as we refuse to march on government or risk losing our jobs by walking off the job on the way to D.C. they will continue to rob us.

The ones that won’t complain are the H1Bs and other foreign workers, legal and illegal. Why do you think they allow it all to happen.
