that would be a great argument the next time they want to extend unemployment and borrow even more money to do so


maybe joe bob recognizes that he is working much harder to fund a bloated, inefficient, bankrupt behemoth at the local, state and federal level and is also aware that many of those that he is funding are working much less, with embarassing results and getting far more in terms of pay and benefits than he or they could ever get in the real world....
