Democrat States put on WelfareFollow

There's something really painful about getting told by a sprite (or a giant stone head). I theorise that the same was true for cat macros before we all become numbed to them. I intended to investigate this phenomenon further, but they cut my research funding because "that's just ******* stupid, man, this money is supposed to be for science".
#53gbaji, Posted: Feb 25 2009 at 2:53 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Engage? No. Respond to? Somewhat by definition. You used a study showing relationship between federal taxes paid to federal funding by state in response to a thread about states receiving "welfare". Either you didn't get why your response was wrong, or you just tossed it out anyway and hoped no one would notice the flaws.

Really? I just assumed he was offering as one offers a meaningless explanation to a small child. Strangely, when Hannah asks me why dogs are brown, I'm more likely to say "because they're made of chocolate" than I am to explain genetics to her.

We all know you live in a world without context, though, and frequently miss that sort of thing.

Given that this wasn't the first time you've linked that study recently, and I don't recall the first time being in response to Varus, I suspect that's a big ol backpedal...

Last time was in response to Neispace where we were speaking more generally of federal money and not welfare in particular. So... ummm.... yeah. You sure got me there.

#58gbaji, Posted: Feb 25 2009 at 6:07 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) The fact that it's not all welfare isn't the only flaw with the numbers you presented though. You're going in strange circles here. I listed several reasons why the study you linked doesn't prove any sort of hypocrisy on the part of Republicans opposed to the spending in the latest stimulus bill. The specific way in which it's a stupid counterargument may change, but it's still just as stupid...
