House Republicans Pass $868 Mil in Cuts to WIC (women, infants, children)

[Seawytch]

Here's an idea for ya. Since birth control is very easy to acquire, easier than a job, why not wait to have kids until you're more secure instead of depending on taxpayers who have their own families to house and feed, medical bills, education, etc. Naw. That wouldn't work. Dumb asses.

And yet GnOPers are doing everything in their power to make birth control less easy to acquire (i.e. cutting funding to Planned Parenthood)

It's a bit late to discourage someone from having a child once the child is born.

When you give that person money, you encourage others who haven't yet made the mistake to do it also.

Ignoring the incentives government programs create is one of the main idiocies of liberalism.

What's the rationale for making children a tax deduction for working/middle class parents? What's the rationale for the $1000 per child tax credit?

You're mistaken if you think I endorse either of those laws.

Now, back to your ludicrous theory that paying women to have babies doesn't give them an incentive to have children out of wedlock.

i had your attitude about 6 years ago until i seen first hand how our Government treats its Elderly.....its pathetic....an eye opener....

"Its elderly?" When did the elderly become government property? Why should the government treat the elderly any different than anyone else in this country?

they are also the ones who helped create the living standards we have today...hey go tell your Grand parents that they are on their own.....then i will go tell mine...but you first....

All they did is go to work and pay their bills. They also voted in scumbags like FDR, Harry Truman, and Jimmy Carter. In that way they drastically lowered our standard of living. People like Henry Ford, Bill Gates and Steve Jobs are the ones who improved our standard of living, not the vast class of dolts who are good for nothing but brute labor.

Here's the deal: I'll pay for my grand parents and you can pay for yours.

That's how things used to be in this country.

dogs at the pound get treated better thats why......

All they did is go to work and pay their bills. They also voted in scumbags like FDR, Harry Truman, and Jimmy Carter.
anyone you may have voted for in the last 50 years is no doubt....A SCUMBAG....

In that way they drastically lowered our standard of living.

yea our Standard of living has been horrible.....where the hell do you live?....


Here's the deal: I'll pay for my grand parents and you can pay for yours.


all 4 of them?.....yea right......wait till they need professional help day to day.....

The government locks up the elderly in cages, feeds them nothing but dog food and euthanizes them?

anyone you may have voted for in the last 50 years is no doubt....A SCUMBAG....

Yes, they probably were scumbags. However, they weren't actively trying to destroy the country as liberal Presidents have done for the past 100 years.

In that way they drastically lowered our standard of living.

yea our Standard of living has been horrible.....where the hell do you live?....

Our standard of living would be much higher if it wasn't for government taxing away all our wealth and flushing it down the toilet. Actually, we would be better off if the government had flushed the money down the toilet rather than paying people not to work and women to have babies out of wedlock.

Here's the deal: I'll pay for my grand parents and you can pay for yours.

all 4 of them?.....yea right......wait till they need professional help day to day.....

You have brothers and sisters don't you? I'm sure that if all their grand children pool their resources enough money can be collected to pay for their needs.

Are the birthrates lower in countries that have little or no social safety net?

The United States ranks 139th in birthrate in the world. Most of EU ranks below us.

Hey if these poor people can't afford to feed and care for their children,

they should move to Afghanistan and apply for foreign aid.

How about not having children? Next thing you'll want me to believe is that there are no women having children to live on their benefits.

It's a bit late to discourage someone from having a child once the child is born.

How about using pregnancy preventative methods? How about not sleeping around/ How about getting control of one's hormones? How about thinking of the consequences before acting?...
See, none of you libs want to talk about that, the first words you utter are " I have the right!!..."
Newsflash....with rights come responsibilities.

The idea is to discourage these women before they have children. How would you do that?

Proper sex education in Junior High School and High School has been found to work wonders. Given that most humans are hard wired to have sex, teaching young people how to prevent pregnancy is probably a smart move.

Because with the exception of pregnancy preventation the rest of this is really laughable.

You have brothers and sisters don't you? I'm sure that if all their grand children pool their resources enough money can be collected to pay for their needs.

its easy when their healthy......wait till they get sick or hurt......then your going to see how much their health care costs......Medicare,Private Ins. AARP.....all seem to go away or all of a sudden can help very little when that happens......when thousands per month is what you will need i hope you have a bundle in the Bank.....cause it goes quick....

in some of these rehab/old folks centers they may as well be in cages......and the food might as well be dog food its probably more nutritious.....and at least the dog has the option to be Euthanized.......

That's assuming the person in question has no insurance or assets.
Why is it always up to the taxpayers to support your ideas?

That's a bullshit response.
Access to birth control is so widespread these days plus people are so much more aware of human biology ,there should be like a 5% accidental pregnancy rate.
Quite frankly the majority of us are sick of the excuses for poor choices and bad behavior.

insurance dont do shit or does very little.....and so you have to sell the families assets to get them the help they need?......i guess Dean was right about you guys......wait till something like this happens to you and you see a good hunk of what everyone was working for all their lives get eaten up......and unless you got a hell of a lot.....it will get eaten up....and pretty quick.....

So if "insurance don't do shit" then the answer is "government insurance"?....
You people are a fucking miracle.
Oh, since you brought up estates getting eaten up, why is it your side is so intent on having the federal government confiscate the majority of them upon the death of the owner?
Face palm.
