To the Spouter who claimed their: “parents struggled to pay bills but we had "billy Beer"...” back in the 80’s during the gas crisis. “Here’s the real scenario”: First of all, the gas crisis was in 73-74, and a Republican was President (Nixon). Second, you said: “I was There…my parents struggled to pay bills…” which means you were a child at the time, and didn’t contribute anything, or you would have said “I struggled to pay bills”. And as far as: “poor need back republican money”, it’s Blue States that carry the Red ones in terms of Federal dollars sent back to each State. There's the truth.
