True enough. But it's a plank of the DNC platform.We've thrown over $7 trillion a the "cycle of poverty" since LBJ's idiotic Great Society debacle, yet poverty and lack are as bad as ever!
As though that's supposed to be evidence that we need even more of what has clearly failed?
Speaking of taking the cake....
Dave....some Republicans are not to keen on history themselves.....
Of course:Please provide your proof for such a statement
Comment here: Any woman that would support the Republican party is a traitor to her gender and all the women before her that have fought for voting, abortion rights, birth control, divorce etc.
Comment here: I'm alarmed that no one seems to be discussing the fact that if this woman becomes VP it will set women in this country back 50 years. If she actually became the President, not only would her leadership cause America to have trepidation in bringing another woman to the presidency, but like a traitor to her sex she would radically embrace stay-at-home mom legislation.

Sarah Palin is plain and simple against abortion. But is it fair to bring a child to this world with such a disability. I do not call her brave, I call her irresponsible. This is not autism. We are talking about Downs Syndrome.
who is it that fights to strip our schools on money evey chance they get?
Any money for schools the right calls "throwing money at the problem"

this is not a study is it , its a couple of personal stories and a littl talk about how todays housewifes feel about staying home.
It in no way proves that the majority of women feel forced to work by feminists.
Guess what these women stayed home out of choice and NOT relegated to no choice but to stay home like the vast majority of women in the past.
Choices have consequences but at least they all have a choice now huh?
BTW , I was a stay at home mom by choice.

Dave, it depends on what the meaning of "it" is.
Leftists couldn't exist without selective perception.
Austerity measures? We've implemented ANY????? When'd that fucking happen?Several overly simplistic points with a cliche in it does not a valid response make.
And when "looking" at Europe..which Europe?
Europeans from France, Germany and England are some of the hardest working indivduals on the planet. Greece? Not so much.
France, Germany and England are some of the what?
What I said is backed up by evidence. EU countries are desperately scrabbling to get away from the welfare mentality that has become ingrained in their cultures. Britain's welfare state has all but collapsed... and the IMF agrees that the British coalition government's austerity measures are vital to save their economy.
Actually..it's the austerity measures that are killing their economy. Big time.
Oh good. Then we can cut back on education even harder with no downside to education.Who is it that fights to increase their funding despite becoming worse and worse with every year?who is it that fights to strip our schools on money evey chance they get?

Whoo horsey! Whoo! There is no correlation between spending more on education and that creating poorer school grades.

Has a single one gone into effect or were they not stopped by the Senate as I seem to recall? And didn't the 'austerity' measures total less than 10 billion dollars?Austerity measures?

Remember when we passed the CR for the 2011 budget? The Dems agreed to 38 bil in cuts? That was it, according to them. Hell, we were denying women's rights, starving widows, the elderly, and orphans, what's more austere than that? Oh yeah, Ryan's budget.

Right, so there've been really no cuts, but just kicked the can down the road.Has a single one gone into effect or were they not stopped by the Senate as I seem to recall?

I think most of that 38 billion was for later in the decade. If I'm not mistaken, Obama included it in his revised budget speech when he trashed Ryan and his plan.

Real austerity cuts start now (thanks to ignoring the issue of government spending) at around 40% of total budget reduction. Better still would be reducing it to 2001 levels... yes pre Medicare Part D and Homeland Security or war on terror levels.
that would be better.
Then again, I advocate the ending and defunding of every bureaucracy and cabinet level position created after 1951 (Dept of Transportation)... and even they'd get pared back in power and scope too.

I hear ya, but is that much of a spending cut right now a good thing from the standpoint of the economy? If it's my call, I go looking first for the waste and inefficiencies in gov't, remember that report by the GAO (or was it the OMB?) that said we have way too many duplicate or obsolete programs? Then I go after the uneeded subsidies, but I think we need to gradually cut back rather than go crazy. Mostly we need a bipartisan plan that shows we are serious about addressing the debt/deficit AND are willing to work together on it, with compromise and cooperation. Which we ain't got right now.
Here's what the cuts Obama proposed in '09 looked like:Right, so there've been really no cuts, but just kicked the can down the road.Has a single one gone into effect or were they not stopped by the Senate as I seem to recall? And didn't the 'austerity' measures total less than 10 billion dollars?

In this we are in complete agreement.
Waste, fraud and duplication first.
Failed/Unconstitutional Cabinet bureaucracies second (energy, HHS, DHS, Education, HUD... among about half a dozen others)
Unnecessary expenditures (most foreign military bases and foreign aid, ending Pax Americana policies)
Stuff like that.
