A few questions from the politicians of Texas and Louisiana

The politicians of Texas and Louisiana would very much like your feedback.

We know many politicians oppose federal spending because the government is too big. And we know they believe people should be self-sufficient, and not rely on government handouts. And we know they feel that receiving government handouts just makes people lazy.

In this vein, the Texas and Louisiana politicians would like your opinions:

1. Do you believe the federal deficit should be cut?
2. To lower the deficit, should military spending be cut?
3. To lower the deficit, should federal spending for health care be cut?
4. To lower the deficit, should federal spending for education be cut?
5. To lower the deficit, should federal anti-poverty spending (for food and housing) be cut?
6. To lower the deficit, should your taxes be increased?
7. Are the citizens of Texas and Louisiana self-sufficient?
8. To lower the deficit, should the budget for FEMA be cut?
9.  Considering the deficit, should the federal government provide financial help for rebuilding southern Texas and Louisiana?
10. Whether or not the people of Texas and Louisiana were at fault for not preventing the damage to their states, should the government help them either way?
11. Whether or not the poor are at fault for being poor, should the government help them either way?

As the hurricane season progresses, the politicians of the southern border states and the eastern seaboard also would like to know your opinions.

Your answers will be passed to the all the Senators and Representatives from every state that receives federal money.

Thank you.
