Give a man a fish...

[bedowin62]

a hundred thousand "jobs programs" to train people out of a job doesnt matter if your politics and practices drove all the jobs away

it's so generous of the Left to want to help the people their failed policies have put out of a job and into poverty; using hundreds of billions of other people's money of course

So what the conservatives' great plans for 'teaching men to fish' ?

Let's hear about that. Let's hear about what conservatives are willing to put into getting people educated in marketable skills in our current economic environment.

The first step is to convince people that less fishermen can't feed more people. That will be an almost impossible task in today's environment. Many people simply won't accept it as long as there's a fishing boat in the waters. You then get government off the necks of the people and they will teach each other to fish, like they have for a million years. Somehow we managed before and men didn't wait for big government to provide the poles, bait, hook, line and sinker.

Let's hear what the Democrats' plan is for getting people marketable skills in our current economic environment ... They own the Senate and the White House.
What's thier plan other than spending someone elses money to buy votes from those who cannot fish?

Never ask or try to set the dialog with a question you cannot answer yourself ... It only accents your failures.

Well for starters; Republicans promise not to pander and patronize people into a lifetime or even generations of government dependency.

there were more people "fishing" when Republicans ran things

true story

There were 143,338,000 Americans working in December 2008.

There were 145,742,000 Americans working as of March 2014.

Truer story.

Whatever we did before we did before a huge portion of our labor intensive manufacturing sector was shipped overseas.

You can argue with Republicans over what "teach a man to fish" is supposed to mean.

Hemp seeds are healthier than fish. Anyone can grow hemp, but not everyone can fish for their meals. If America legalizes marijuana again, hemp seeds will be abundant in every state and poor people will be able to grow their own food.

https://www.google.com/search?q=hemp+seed+nutrition&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-USfficial&client=firefox-a&channel=sb

Do right-wing Conservative Republicans want poor people to provide for themselves or not?

You can continue to argue the simple truth ... But it doesn't change your desire for an agenda over the truth.

In states where the production of marijuana is legal for personal or medical use with approval and licensing by the state ... Producers are wealthy.
The fastest growing income bracket belongs to new producers in the legal marijuana business.
We don't need to show people how to fish ... And we don't need to dig a pond in everyone's backyard.

If you want or need to grow marijuana to survive ... Then go to a place where it is legal and acquire a license to do so.
Make an investment in yourself and your own well-being ... Make the sacrifice it takes to become successful at something.

Learn to fish ... Understand that fish live in water ... Go to the water and quit waiting for it to come to you.

I'm sorry but I don't understand. If the producers of marihuana are the fastest-growing (pun definitely intended) income bracket in places where it's legal, then let's legalize it everywhere so that everyone can get in on this. Everyone can grow Cannabis, even homeless people can grow it. During periods of shortage in the early colonies, land owners could be fined if they refused to grow hemp. America would have lost World War II if marijuana had remained illegal.

We need to stop trying to keep Cannabis production to a minimum. We need everyone to get back to work making American hemp into American products.

You don't understand ... Otherwise you would know that if everyone everywhere could grow marijuana legally ... Then producers would no longer be in demand.
Farming is farming and if you make marijuana legal to grow everywhere ... Then the growers won't make the cash they are making now.

With that in mind ... If you want to be farmer ... Plants some seeds and get to farming.
The legalization of marijuana will not save the economy any more than the legalization of corn.
If the standard consumer can plant seeds in their backyard and grow whatever they want ... Then you won't be getting 1000's of dollars a pound.

So the conservative version of teaching men to fish is to deny them all government assistance so they either figure out how to fish on their own, or starve.

Teaching men to fish = Education. Democrats want to invest more in education; Republicans want to invest less.

people are free to grow any kind of vegetables or fruits they want; that hasnt reduced the need for producers of produce. you dont even make sense

Teaching men to fish = Education. Democrats want to invest more in education; Republicans want to invest less.

horseshit, dems want to invest in the teachers union in order to buy their votes. dems do not want an educated population, because educated people can see through dem/libs lies and do not want to be slaves to the government. Educated people want more freedom, not government plantation style control.

AND, education is a state and local responsibility, the federal govt should stay out of it completely.

 

[Iceweasel]

Being educated doesn't mean you're learning truth or something useful. many people are better off learning a trade, that's education too but not the kind that necessarily promotes leftwing ideology.
