Many of these druggies are criminals. For lefties to imply that their only offenses are being drug users is not honest. In fact, as the country has gotten more lenient on so called drug users, crime is skyrocketing.yep....and i don't thiink you'll get many to join your cause and take up arms against the United States because they can't snort coke
Oh, they get used to it. People ARE incentivized to not work. Hell, there are places in this country where people are collecting over 100K on welfare. Why work when you can earn tens of thousands of dollars for not working?Then why isn’t everyone on welfare?
Because we can make way more money by working. Not to mention the stipulations of welfare make it difficult to live off it for any extended period of time.
Prove it.Hell, there are places in this country where people are collecting over 100K on welfare
Misleading thread titleI must have missed your response to the thread question. A reminder, it was between Clarence Thomas and George Floyd.
Prove it.

LOL. You read it just fine. You're just too chicken to answer the question.Misleading thread title
The Constitution gave Congress the duty to spend money on certain enumerated responsibilities & building statues wasn't one of them.To play devil's advocate, the Constitution gives Congress the right to spend money. I guess it is up to Congress and the state legislators what they actually want to spend the money on. Of course we are now in the 21st century and there is bound to be spending that couldn't even be conceived of back in the day.
I kind of agree with you BUT, don't you have to acknowledge that back in the 18th century they couldn't even conceive of expenditures that would be happening in the 21st century and, hence, allowed for the Constitution to be interpreted as needed to cover unforeseen future happenings?The Constitution gave Congress the duty to spend money on certain enumerated responsibilities & building statues wasn't one of them.
They have expanded "general welfare" far beyond constraints where practically anything can be claimed as legit spending.
If the local people want a statue, they need to fund it themselves with donations.
Every time they confiscate our money to pay for unauthorized expenditures, good or bad, they have set us on another slippery slope.
While this works great for the snakes that use our taxes to buy votes/power & brings the Cloward/Piven crash ever closer, it is a national suicide pact that has set us on a path to where we end up with a $31.4 trillion national debt that our children can never repay.

In the 1980's out Federal budget grew to 1.2 trillion dollars or so. Reports of up to 30% of it was waste were around. Today it is safe to say we have a lot of waste. Stealing, corruption games played to extract money and benefits that the taxpayer is on the hook for. Huge industrial and science projects that are inefficient, not as advertised or just plain a waste. Floyd did not have one redeeming character trait as not changing one iota in his 46 years of life and cost the taxpayers with his irresponsible living. We do not have the resources to prove all males are men and what constitutes it. Western machismo where some men screw with others has hit a brick wall with Prog agendas defeating them time after time as an example. A traditional man who takes care of his children through thick and thin is a man.Well I guess it's just a matter of perspective. I see them both as men. After that, I'm not sure how to put the other stuff in any perspective. It's just a place for pigeons to poop no matter who it looks like!
Eventualities conceived of or not, it is all a slippery slope that should have been off limits in perpetuity.I kind of agree with you BUT, don't you have to acknowledge that back in the 18th century they couldn't even conceive of expenditures that would be happening in the 21st century and, hence, allowed for the Constitution to be interpreted as needed to cover unforeseen future happenings?
Floyd did nothing and was murdered for it. Thomas was paid to overturn Roe.He made something of himself all the way up to the Supreme Court. George Floyd did nothing.
Just to shoot down some of those things (again, I'm playing devil's advocate):Eventualities conceived of or not, it is all a slippery slope that should have been off limits in perpetuity.
We started down it anyway & now we're in deep sh!+.
Meanwhile, most of the sheeple have no clue.
Congress had certain Constitutionally authorized expenditures that would be adequate even in todays world if we weren't trying to play Santa/Team America at home & abroad with expenditures they can only make by first confiscating it from the rest of us.
Most things the Feds do these days are best left to the states or in private hands, if they should be done at all.
Plus, I have never bought the BS theory of a "Living Constitution" the left & activist judges frequently use to circumvent the plain meanings of words when read in the proper context of the times in order to advance an otherwise indefensible agenda..

Floyd was a criminal and was being arrested. Yes, the police went too far but it doesn't change the fact that Floyd actually did do something - break the law. As you said, Floyd did nothing to be honored with a statue. Thomas got a good education, worked hard, and made it all of the way up to the Supreme Court. Of course not everyone will agree with his decisions but he worked hard to get where he is. I'm totally against RGB but acknowledge that she worked hard to get where she was and should also be honored with statues, even if I disagree with many of her decisions.Floyd did nothing and was murdered for it. Thomas was paid to overturn Roe.
What does general welfare mean? Could mean healthcare is a right. Could mean basically unlimited welfare to the poor.
Which is why we need to vote the blue guys out.Who decides what is best for our General Welfare?
Representatives elected by We the People

US on Pace to Add $19 Trillion to National Debt Over Next Decade: CBO
Federal finances are deteriorating more rapidly than expected, the Congressional Budget Office said Wednesday as it released its 10-year outlook for the federal budget and the U.S. economy. The 101-page report finds that the gap between spending and revenues is growing faster than previously...finance.yahoo.com
All this debt adds to inflation, which is social injustice, increasing income inequality, homelessness, and crime. Democrats refuse to even talk about cutting national expenses. All they want to do is continually spend us into oblivion and beyond, constantly increasing our debt limit, and never consider cutting expenses.
