I stand corrected. Abbott had the "state" guard monitor the intentions of the Federal army............. and then asked the Federals for some cash to pay for the flood damage.

Not long ago Rafael (AKA Ted) Cruz voted ,not just no, but Hell No on Federal Hurricane relief for the Northeast after it was battered by a hurricane. Now, the Pol ,also known as Ted, is asking for Federal relief for Texans who have been affected by recent weather events.

Just weeks after ordering the Texas national Guard to monitor United States (Federal) troops during a training exercise, apparently to give Texans time to respond in case the Feds were actually planning an "invasion", Texas Governor Greg Abbot now wants the Obama administration to give Texas money to help with flood clean up.

Real Smmmooooth.

Understood. I assure You the percentage of welfare folks who are eating Lobster and shopping at Victoria's is really low. It is not a lifestyle that is desired by many. Some welfare fraud going on......yep. Enough that the state legislature that created a huge deficit with their supply side worship should be spending time worrying about it at this point in time. Nope. They have a bigger mess to fix.

Completely eliminated taxes on 53,000 subsidized farmers. Welfare being spent on seafood is not the problem in Kansas. And lingerie ? Seriously? I grew up in the rust belt. Plenty of broke behind people. I can't think of 1 welfare girl I'd want to see in a G-string.

This is typical Republican playbook. All Republican legislature slashes business taxes to zero after a couple supply side junkies testify that the resulting revenue boom will be huge. Instead revenue tanks, budget deficits balloon, schools get hit with cuts and the people are wondering what happened.

Aha! pass a bunch of meaningless bills about welfare and the populace is not mad about the path the all Republican state gov't put them on. Instead, the Holy Rollin people of kansas are pissed because a bunch of welfare leeches blew up the state budget with too many trips to Victoria's Secret and the Lion Den.

Just the fact that people fall for this crap is mind boggling.

Oh boy,  Are You suggesting that Bernie Sanders sets property tax rates in Vermont?

You just waking up to the fact that our government is owned by big money?

Amazes Me, You Guys continue to vote for those who brought us "citizens united", but then are just shocked that corporations own our government. Geesh. 

C'mon Slim. You said Obamacare cost are crippling the middle class, as if The relationship between healthcare cost and the middle class struggling didn't start until Obamacare. Complete BS.

Right. Right. And You can reference some factual data to back that up?
