To follow up, I wounder if I could use the same definition of "broke" as he does with respect to the government.

Meaning if I make $10,000 a month, but have obligated $9,800 of it to whatever I felt was important, then I should qualify as "broke", and be able to collect Welfare, as I only have $200 left over income.

The government is far from broke. In fact they are the largest income collecting entity in the world. They just happen to spend everything, and far more then they make, on shit they don't need to be spending money on.

This does not make them broke. It makes then extremely poor consumers, and woefully unqualified at what they do.

Most people in America spend far more than they make. If there not broke,then why do they keep borrowing from china. They have to do something to reform social security. You have to understand that people are living longer and the goverment is paying out,more than they get from social security taxes. They simply can't substain it.
