They spent that money In the form of corporate money grants, tax breaks, or other special favorable treatment. What ever happened to personal responsibility?

Its called democrats now no personal responsability they are about raising taxes so we can help these people who feed off the system. These so called poor people that have cell phones and bling, getting a goverment check every month off of my work is bull crap. It should really go to the people that do need it that can't get a job because of a disability even then I think there should be a work program for them, at least earn a little of the hand-outs your getting. My goodness I hate demorcrats and if Hillary Clinton is President every country in the world is going to try to take advantage of it. Yeah I want a president that allowed her husband to cheat on her and then stay with him.

That story was about "corporate" welfare, not individual. Corporations are not individual people so they have no personal responsibility. In the view of the government the money spent to bail out big corps. is an investment in keeping jobs. I don't agree with it but thats what they do.

What I find interesting is that neo-cons love to complain about having to pay taxes and whine about "handouts" to the less fortunate, while they have their hands out for the largest slices of the pie. They increase spending and lower taxes, then call themselves fiscally responsible. Meanwhile, those evil socialists, the liberal Democrats, have to come in every few years and clean up their messes. Remember that horrible surplus we had after Clinton? Thank god for Bush. He took care of that in short order.
Thanks to the Republicans and their fiscal responsibility, we now owe the Chinese so much that we don't dare complain when they poison our children with their lead-laden products. If we did do something about it, they could call in our debt and bring us to our knees. You just gotta love the G.O.P. and their devotion to their personal ambitions and greed over the security of this country. That's what I call true patriotism!

On the cprporate level, there was never anything like personal responsibility. Corporations do not take responsibility. They blame all the problems on the poor and immigrants.

Coorporate welfare is not the same as social services for the people. Bush takes care of his own.

Yes. equally startling are the billions of dollars spent on the biggest American fed welfare state in the world, the Zionist state of Israel.

the government spent 326 million dollars a day in Iraq, most of it unaccounted for lost money, lost guns, lost morals.
