Democrats: If the DOGE Savings allow and Prompt Trump to Send you a $5,000 Check, what will You do with the Money?

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

Every response you give is gas lighting.

See, you are gas lighting.

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

Silly beagle. See what you did.

 

[Anathema]

The $5000 would be a bribe for stupid greedy people who don't realize that Trump is aborting the country set up by our founding fathers. Changes in the long run that will not be good for them or their children.
We do need to reduce our debt. Money should be used to reduce our debt not to bribe stupid people.

I like the idea of shorting the nation even more than I like the $5000 check idea.

At this point it would likely end up going into my ‘rainy day’ savings account and just sit there. Themsts nice because the last 3 years have depleted thst account greatly.

 

[Concerned American]

Not in favor of this. Pay down the debt.

Agreed. It is the only logical thing to do.

 

[beagle9]

Agreed. It is the only logical thing to do.

Can do both.

Have you reconsidered your support of abortion rights?

You do not know my stand on abortion.
Let me tell you, I believe things should be done to minimize the number of abortions. I don't think making them illegal does that. Many things the government makes illegal ends up increasing what they are making illegal.
One move would be to have a penalty for any male who impregnates a woman who has an abortion.

Brilliant. Perhaps we should legalize murder and theft so they happen less frequently. STFU, clown.

Following the overturning of Roe v. Wade, the number of abortions in the US saw a slight increase in the first full year after the ruling, reaching a 12-year high,
As of 2023, the following countries have laws that prohibit abortion in all or most cases:
Andorra, Dominican Republic, Egypt, El Salvador, Honduras, Iraq, Jamaica, Laos, Madagascar, Malta, Nicaragua, Palau, Philippines, Republic of the Congo, San Marino, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Suriname, Vatican City, and Mauritania
There are many countries where abortion is not illegal that have a lower abortion rate than countries where it is illegal.
Educate yourself. To minimize abortions takes a lot more work than just making it illegal. Lazy people only look at making them illegal.

It was not the end of the world giving the states the power. And that would be for other things like education. Federal money would still go to the states for it.

Welfare should be shared by the states.
Impose a 2-year limit on welfare, and have the state's unemployment offices recommend job training, they are closer to the job market than the Federal government.
States should fund job training for real job opportunities.

Welfare should be paid out of state's coffers. The federal government shouldn't pay any of it. If the states want to support parasites, let them pay for it.

I didn’t say making them illegal would stop 100% of them, dumbass. It certainly discourages them, and those who perform them. Think.

I feel making abortions illegal is not the answer. But at the end of the day, women should have more input than men. Men should have accountability for an unwanted pregnancy.

Women should not have a right to commit murder.

I feel everything should be done to minimize abortions. Some are required for the life of the mother.
Let's hold men accountable for their involvement. Make men accountable and there will be fewer abortions.

Now you are talking, otherwise start thinking about solution's to a problem instead of just saying "orange man bad".

Yes, penalties and other methods could hopefully slow some of the mess down, but without Jesus being a guide for the solution's needed, then it will all fail just like it always does.

It did not reduce the number of abortions in the US.

The goal should be to depopularize abortion, and to make it a taboo thing once again. If that takes including men into the equation by penalizing them if going around impregnating women, then yes I agree with that.

Abortion wasn’t made illegal in the US. Think.
