More fantasies. More time wasted on B/S resolutions rather than
identifying and addressing the problems.

Time for them to make wee-wee in a bottle, and some reservations
for rehab....

What it boils do to is that there ain't any more money. The
polls and the suits spent it *ALL* and everything they could
borrow.

This type of noise will continue until the states need/want the
Federal money. They should also be careful to determine where
their money is coming from. Oklahoma and many of the other
complaining states appear to be net beneficiaries of the existing
Federal tax system in that they get more back than they pay.

California is rapidly going belly up and would like more, not
less, Federal money. As a point of irony, many of the California
counties and large municipalities like Los Angeles, are saying
the same thing about the California government.

Rather than wasting time/money on useless resolutions why aren't
plans for the emergency requisitioning and distribution of food
and fuel being developed, and even beyond that, the emergency
local production/processing of at least minimal food supplies,
such as bread. However it is easier to rearrange the deck chairs
as the Titanic sinks....
