So in her recent update to followers Susan Collins announced how she has made $814,000 available to food and shelter in Maine, which can be explained as a necessity for survival. Then she announced how since October she has spent 25 million for the University of Maine wind power research. She finally finishes it off saying the deficit will bankrupt the country (she says it in the political jargon showing enough concern for her to work on a committee in Congress to address the issue, which is the same thing because otherwise everyone in the world would never pay back a loan).
So are the benefits of increased spending on those projects going to outweigh bankrupting the nation?
A little side note on food stamps: require people only purchase from the Dollar menu at any location with a dollar menu (a meal for a dollar, hello), and only meal a day per person.
If you're telling me a Big Mac doesn't give enough fuel for a day you haven't looked at the calories in the thing.
Does that sound heartless? Well because it is. Government isn't supposed to be nice, or evil. It is supposed to simply be. We as a society, not as a government, are meant to show kindness to each other and care for those in need.
As people we can be giving or greedy. Yet for a government to give it must first take. We can give without ever taking, but by receiving. The whole point is to give our labor to have someone else give us our pay, which we then can generously give to those who can't give themselves. If you don't understand this you might just be a soulless government robot. If you do understand this, join the GOP and the Green Independent Party in fighting all new taxes proposed by the current Maine state legislature.
Lastly to those who don't know and keep asking repeatedly: GOP is the short form of the nickname of the Republican Party.
