    I think they know how to kill jobs so where else will people go to welfare they have to depends upon the government since businesses and corporations don't care about them.

    Complainants are they needs jobs and they can't find any they need some way to live and I think also they have balanced budgets not like states like Illinois, Massachusetts, California, Colorado, and New York where they have democrats as governors and New Jersey where they have a republican as governor where people need help they won't get It find a balance to get help.

    Being from New Mexico, I say you have no idea what you're talking about. Take your liberal crap and walk. Liberal practices are what ruined our state and led to our debt.

    As for the rest, perhaps they're sick of a welfare state that seeks to keep people on welfare since is a demonstrable fact that putting a family on welfare condemns future generations to welfare? Perhaps they're just sick of policies designed and meant to make and keep them subservient to the State?

    Oh, and you haven't bothered to look at regional problems, population, social problems, business opportunities, federal regulation on business or anything else have you?
