On the night the GOP took the Congress in 1994 - at like 2 AM when it was final and definite - I went out to the car, rolled down my car windows, and drove through a Section 8 neighborhood blasting Wagner's "Ride of the Valkyries."
And I don't regret it one bit. I just regret that it was only the growth rates of those programs, rather than the programs themselves, that were cut.

Right, they were ended during the Clinton adminstration - after the GOP Congress was elected. Read the question, I did this in 1994.

And how is it racist not to want to pay other people's bills?

Section 8 is a voucher program, that helps millions of Americans, and the program should be expanded.
And there are no "section 8 neighborhoods"! Public housing projects, ran entirely by the gov't, were ended in the Clinton Adminitration. Those programs are now privately ran.

Well it makes sense that you played "Ride of the Valkeries."
Richard Wagner & his wife, Cosima, were ceratinly in love with racist ideas. They believed in the racist philosophy of Arthur de Gobineau, expressed in his book, An Essay on the Inequality of the Human Races, and Richard reflected this in the opera Parsifal. Also Aldolph & his joking jackboot thugs loved Wagner for the same reason.

When George Bush proposed billions of cuts in Medicaid in 2004, I took four of the disabled people I work with and drove to Raleigh, NC and met with the legislators in our state, as the cuts would destroy the lives of people who depended on the assistance to survive. These were not lazy people, but people who were like you and me, and were in a car accident, and are now paralyzed. Cutting programs is how Walter Reed ended up the way it is. Americans deserve better than that.

I can't stand the far-right religious people in my party. It's OK to have religion, or believe in God, but God talk does not help politics and can't be used as a tool to reason with people who don't have faith!
