If you’re looking for an example of how government can help people and businesses by spending money and making stuff happen for them (aka socialism), you could do a lot worse than the Tennessee Valley Authority. Created in 1933 by a Democratic Congress and enthusiastically executed by American Zeus Franklin Delano Roosevelt, the TVA was transformative for people living in one of the country’s shittiest regions during one of the country’s shittiest times, where everyone had malaria and nobody knew how to farm and nobody had the electrick zoom juice, even. So the TVA fixed all that (pretty much) and then decided to keep hanging around and being awesome to this very day. It’s still run by Uncle Sam and still sells electricity to about 9 million customers without costing a cent in taxes. In fact, the company generates hundreds of millions of dollars of tax-equivalent revenue each year! So obviously our right-wing President Barack Obama has proposed selling off the TVA to the private sector in his 2014 budget proposal, and the socialist Republicans in Congress are
So my question to the tri-point hat wearing teatarders is why am I as a taxpayer subsidizing the cost of electricity for two states that make Texas look like the garden of Eden?
Look. You people are obstinate. Let me clear this up for you, one last time:
When the government spends money on people or issues that are not conservative, this is called "Socialism", was invented by Hitler, and has as its only purpose the destruction of both America and God.
When the government spends money on people or issues that are conservative, this is called "Pitching In", was invented by Jesus, and strengthens our moral fiber, while at the same time glorifying God, the Constitution, and St. Reagan.

Then he better hope that he had the good fortune to be born into a family that can afford stuff.
Because no way in hell my taxes are paying to treat that cough he picked up in Babylon.
If Obama came out in favor of laxative, the Republicans would spend the next four years constipated out of spite.

Ahahahahahahahahaha Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha Hohohohohohohoho Heeheeeheeeheeheeheeheheeeeeheheheeeeeeeehahahahahahahahahahahahahaha Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhaaa hee hee heh heh ha he hee.
That is all.
Wal-Mart is counting on it.
ya know, she hates that song
Because it really did it happened just this way That day Obama socked it to the Harper Valley TVA
you could not be clearer but i believe you forgot to mention 'bootstraps'.
Republicans are confusing this with the Tennessee Vagina Authority, where strict government control is obviously necessary.
Dok is the pusher
