The Federal money I refer to is, indeed, taxpayer money (I, too, am a taxpayer; just for the record).

Just because a trickle of money is given back by our generous leaders in Washington, DC, does not justify it being taken in the first place. It certainly does not justify it being spent on items not permitted by the US Constitution.

I am not against a better way to vote; I am only against the continued spending of taxpayer money so freely by a government that has way overstepped its bounds and is continuing to act as if the money is theirs to do with as they please.

And just because the money came from the DoD doesn’t make it any better; it is still taxpayer money.

>>>The funding came from the DOD and was allocated to them for this project. I posted a link, but it either went into Williams spam or was not allowed. Either way you can look this up. It’s a great thing for people like ourselves and I am very excited about it!!!! Sorry about that. A filter deleted the comment because it was 500+ words (limit is 300) with a cut and paste of the info. Here's the link to the info: http://www.fvap.gov/global/news/nr32-2011.html

SW, ever wonder where that “Federal Money” came from to start with. Well it came from taxpayers like me, so I really don’t have a problem with that “Federal Money” coming back home so to speak, since a good bit of it came from Florida to start with.

SW, don’t get into a lather over that federal money. I suspect soon, it will be another one of those things we talk about, when we discuss days gone by.

STOP with the accepting federal money stuff!

Why should someone in another state be forced to pay for stuff in FL? Why should people in FL be forced to pay for stuff in other states?

Where is the Constitutional authority?
