If we eliminated all the food stamp programs sense obama has been in office and stop all the giveaways to other countries we would be able to balance the budget and drop taxes in a year. I have only collected unemployment once in my life and that was for two weeks. I knew people from Toledo Ohio that five generations collected welfare. Democrats tax you to death Republicans try to clean up the mess the dems cause. Then when the dems get back in control they start all over again. So why do you think the republican states have a hard time of it. I watched this for 60 years when I was 10 my father told me then stay away from the democrats. In your personal life you know if you over spend it will catch up to you and that is what we have right now. You have X number of dollars coming in you cant have XX number of dollars going out it never works.
