I'm not so sure about that, you got a source other than something like "Mother Jones" to back up your assertion? I guarantee you Kentucky would do just fine without federal money. We would see how fast the entitlement express would get throttled back once all the bribes from DC quit rolling in. That act alone would straighten out a lot of the mess. And that alone would get people off their butt and out looking for work.

If there was no money in the nation of Kentucky for welfare payments, deadbeat Kentuckians could walk into one of the surrounding states and join the illegal aliens who are already collecting federal benefits. Imagine how prosperous Kentucky would be without those who are too lazy to work? Of course, somebody would have to pack their belongings and provide transportation across the border. nicker:
