More likely, Bill, Deb is a compassionate, caring Minnesotan who doesn’t appreciate the Republican legislature giving tax breaks to wealthy and corporations and the expense of the sick and the elderly.

No Paul. Deb likely has her head in the sand and only sees the nice things in the world and has fooled herself into believing that everyone only has good intentions. We need to stop living in this fantasy land that we should live til we’re 90 no matter the cost to others. We don’t have endless funds for everyone to have whatever they want. There are plenty of abuses of the system and allowing foreigners to come in and expect money handed to them. They and those that are able bodied need to work and be decent to others and quit expecting a handout.

dphilips… seriously? At a certain point the cuts will have to take place and even you at the bottom rung dphilips will be affected.

William, disabled doesn’t only mean totally disabled in a wheelchair with a joystick. It means many things. I wasn’t referring to or focusing on totally disabled folks but it certainly hits your emotional talking points. Maybe mention something about the children as well and always mention fair share in there too. Fraud and abuse is rampant as is the entitlement mentality. We are at the wink and nod stage when we talk about these things there is no need to report it. TWE that is cute by the way. Why don’t we all just put our money in a big pile and divide it up equally.

It’s a bit more complicated than that, Pat. Pawlenty believes in being conservative with the taxpayers money but you don’t seem to understand he couldn’t get everything he wants done just because he was governor. There are others that were elected to the house and senate, lots of democrats who believe in spreading the wealth and maintaining their voting base with the poor folk who want the taxpayers money. Sometimes don’t want to work for it even though they’re perfectly capable but have decided to use drugs and alcohol to make it palatable to themselves.
