#12  Andrea - you are a dork. Massachusetts sucks your tax dollars right into Ted Kennedy's gut. Your comments are so naive as to be almost cute.

money to social services....*snicker* And the Big Dig was such a success too. Funny how the other states do so much more with so much less. And it all works because people like you think they are getting free apple pie. haha

#11  "The money that this war has taken from the U.S. tax dollar's is beyond comprehension."

It appears as though someone has sipped the kool aid!

#10  Andrea - puhleeze.

Cuts to govermom pogroms in Taxachusetts? This is supposed to bring tears?

I live in the belly of that beast, and I can attest that the Communewealth Entity is probably the most corrupt grafting dembot parasitic organism in all of the 50 states.

There can NEVER be enough cuts inflicted on that beast.

Where you're from and what you whine about suggests to me that you derive sustenance from deductions to my pay check.

#9  I have seen the cuts that have been made in human services in the state of Massachusetts

Yeah, all those starving Massh*le urchins crowding the streets made the commute a real hassle.

That is, until I stopped swerving around them...

Massachusets? Then wonder no more: the money has has gone into anti-alcohol therapy and driving lessons for Ted Kennedy.

#6   If we could all ban together, work together and stop the fighting and end this war- what a MIRACLE

I got a better idea" How about we WIN the war?

Oh that's right. You are only interested in defeat. Nevermind.

Not nearly enough. Sadly many people will never succeed in life if we continue to give them a way out. In otherwords the organism requires a little stress to perform most effectively.

#2  Get educated Andrea, go read the budget numbers. You might actually be suprised on how much money is there for programs, duplicated, triplicated, and eaten by bureaucarcy rather than showing up in the hands of those it is intended for. There is also a difference between STATE monies and FEDERAL monies in social services programs. If the cuts are at the State level, the war has nothing to do with it. However, the whine will still be the same. Its about 'potential' monies that 'could' have gone to programs which are designed to make people feel good about themselves and not about solving the problem.

#1  Thanks for the posting. I thought it was wonderful- If we could all ban together, work together and stop the fighting and end this war- what a MIRACLE.

The money that this war has taken from the U.S. tax dollar's is beyond comprehension. I have seen the cuts that have been made in human services in the state of Massachusetts. We can barely take care of our people at home- so that money can be spent fighting this awful war! (I'm told our budget has been cut and monies are being spent for Homeland Security Act).
