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.

Let me make it clearer... If I made $5,000 a month, and spend $2,000 a month on a boat, $1,000 a month eating out, and $1,800 a month on going to strip clubs, am I broke?

Some might say yes, because after pissing away $4,800 a month, I only have $200 left. Others (me) would say no, your not broke, you make $5,000 a month. You just spend your money poorly. Sell your boat, cook your food, and stop going to the strip joints, and you will be fine.

Broke is a guy making $1,500 a month who spends $600 on rent, $200 on a car, and the rest eating and clothing himself.

The government spends a ton of money on crap they don't need to spend money on. Just because they piss it away more then any other entity in the world, does not make them broke.
