Fair enough

Daily Show Welfare Queens



 Jon Stewart: Kansas is America's Welfare Queen







This puts me in mind of my favorite proposal of mine:



No state shall
receive more funds from the federal government then it pays in taxes.



Fund will be withheld to the state until the imballance is addressed. 



The priority of this withholding (that is which funds will not be paid first) should be:

  1. Agricultral Payments
  2. Highway Construction
  3. Non emergency water projects
  4. Perparation of federal lands for bid
  5. Airport construciton
  6. Small business administration funding
  7. Aid to police forces
  8. Defence basing
  9.  ....
    99. Scientific research

  100. Medical Funding

  101. Direct income transfers to private persons



As a matter of policy, this is a terrible idea.  But it might be salutory.
