If Jindal wants to turn down the money, I assume that is his prerogative. Allocating money based on how their representative voted is just plain silly. How else would you apply the Gadziemski rule? For example, if a congressman voted against a Declaration of War, would his constituents be exempted from fighting the war?

Better yet, if the congressman voted against the budget, maybe his constituents should be exempted from paying taxes!

That is better! Maybe they should raise Ed's taxes to make up the shortfall.

I'm sure the feds will appreciate the "gift." If only there were more true Americans like him that had the audacity to hope my loose change will save the country. ;)

Calling an illegal alien an “undocumented immigrant” is like calling a drug dealer an “unlicensed pharmacist”. God doesn't believe in atheists, therefore they don't exist.

Not a bad idea but probably unworkable. However, Congressmen who voted against the Recovery bill voluntarily chose not to participate in the program so their districts should receive no funds from it.

Then their tax money shouldn't pay for it.

I applaud Governor Jindal's decision. In fact, none of the stimulus money should go to any state or congressional district whose representative voted against it. That seems extremely fair to me. If they don't want the money, they shouldn't take any of it and god bless 'em. Just think how much money they'll be saving their constituents.
Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal, a potential 2012 GOP presidential candidate, has suggested his state may not be interested in all of the roughly $4 billion allotted to it in the economic stimulus package. Louisiana reportedly faces a possible $2 billion budget shortfall next year. It has been allocated $538,575,876 for infrastructure spending in the stimulus package, and the White House predicts the bill will create 50,000 jobs in the state.[^]
It's hard to be weaned from suck off the government tit. Ask any of the minority beneficiaries of the "great society". Would those reps who voted against, their states would not have to pay for the ruin of our nation.

Chaining ourselves to the moral high ground does not make us good guys. Aside from making us easy targets, it merely makes us idiotic prisoners of our own self loathing.

The Second Amendment, the Reset Button on the ConstitutionThe reps who voted against are largely from welfare states, i.e. states that receive more Federal spending than they pay in Federal taxes. Federal Taxes Paid vs. Federal Spending Received by State, 1981-2005.[^] Those jerks from Alabama, etc. are good at complaining about taxes and spending but even better at suckling at the national teat.

The majority of districts whose representatives voted against the Recovery bill are welfare districts to begin with. They suck more out of the Federal government than they have ever paid into it in taxes. They already owe the rest of us bigtime for supporting their sorry asses with OUR taxes. For example, Alabama gets $1.84 in government largesse for each dollar they pay in taxes while Michigan pays $1 in taxes to get back 85 cents in Federal spending. Other Southern states suckle just as vigorously at the Federal teat while contributing very little to national wealth.

I'm really not sure why you think this is OK.
Jon Smith & Wesson: The original point and click interface Algoraphobia: An exaggerated fear of the outside world rooted in the belief that one might spontaneously combust due to global warming.
Joe Biden (for our non US friends, he is now vice president of the US) parts of quote (during campaign); Some say Barack’s “articulate” And bright and new and “clean.”[^] The media sure loves this guy, A white interloper’s dream! But, when you vote for president, Watch out, and don’t be fooled! Don’t vote the Magic Negro in – ‘Cause — Liberal Rag LA Times paraphrase (I belive Stan posted source article below). It was that liberal rag the LA Times that first called him the magic negro. Limbaugh and Shanklin, then ran with that context, referancing it in the Peter Paul and Mary song[^]. The L.A. Times, they called him that ‘Cause he’s not authentic like me. Yeah, the guy from the L.A. paper Said he makes guilty whites feel good They’ll vote for him, and not for me ‘Cause he’s not from the hood. In addition early in the presidential campaign while Obama's star was rising, Sharpton's star was falling [^]and he resented it(additonal ref[^]). Which makes this parady even more biting. It's using quotes from the left, putting them in the context of a renouned 'liberal' folk music group and mocking it. And yet doing it with a smile, with good cheer, with out getting angry.

I live in a state of joy. It's even more joyful to think that I may be stimulated by some of your tax money, while contributing little of my own. :laugh: Actually, if I were a betting man I would wager that I pay more in federal income taxes than you do.
