"Because food stamps are more useful than stealth bombers." So, then why didn't they cut the bombers? Are you saying gov't always cuts the more useful items?
"Because the federal government has borrowing power that the states do not and it would be counter-productive not to mention morally wrong not to do everything we can in a time of severe need." Very debatable on the borrowing power. With the amount of debt our country has, it would be better to say the government has the power to print money. As for morally wrong, I say it morally wrong to bail the states out of problems they created by over spending. If continued, the states will never learn to be self-sufficient. "That was easy." It always is when your using someone else's money.
