"Forgiveness is one thing (from one of the quotes), but allowing someone to rob you over and over again is just plain stupid. At some point it must become a sin to allow yourself to be abused for no reason other than the other's greed."

Forgiveness is everything! :) Didn't Jesus set the example. How many times are you going to forgive? Christ said 70 x 7. In other words, there should be no limit to forgiveness. How many times will we be forgiven by God in our life?

But ...Your point of "allowing" someone to rob you is entirely different from what I was picking up from the posts. I was referring to federal monies given to folks who abuse it. THAT is a battle I can not fight. Sure I can speak about living in a democracy, about voting to change things. But in few, cases will that work. The abuse of federal monies has been going on since organized government came in to being. Fleece projects are a hoot. Except the joke is on the average tax payer. Forgiving the man on the street for taking money I give him in good faith, using it in some foul way, I can forgive. The politician who is blindedly spending my tax dollars?? Well let's just say I have a lot of confessing to do.
