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

[GoneBezerk]

It is too stupid to understand the concept of a good or service needs to be bought in order for the investment to work.

It is a self described anarachist using the internet...which is part of society and a system.....oh, such an anarchist.

I wish the Marxists and anarchists would quit being liars and hypocrites...finally moving out of society and living off bugs and the land. We'll let them go die in the woods....

Uh dumbfuck....the economy doesn't grow if people don't buy shit. People putting their money under their bed, in a piggy bank, etc doesn't stimulate the economy.

I have an A.B. in Economics and a MBA, you're talking to the wrong person if you think you're smarter than me.

I am smarter than you. Economic growth comes from capital accumulation (i.e. investment), not unbridled consumption.

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
I'm smarter than you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You have a degree in shit for brains..
Hey Fritz Hollings, no one said anything about unbridled consumerism.
Business hires workers, workers make product, other workers convey product to market, other workers sell product to CONSUMERS.....All of the workers in the chain are also taxpaying consumers. They buy stuff which causes the cycle to start all over again.
Every part of the economy is ties to the others.
Which planet are you from?

In your mother's basement to your D&D club.

You are a piece of shit with no college degree in this area, I doubt you even stepped foot in a college classroom ever....including junior college.

I will not respond to you since you are like a bum on the street outside my condo.

I teach economics and statistics. Bye.

In your mother's basement to your D&D club.

Economic growth comes from investment, not consumption. Why are you so ******* retarded?

 

[Polk]

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.

Conservatives are making birth control more difficult.

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.

Access is widespread now, but Republicans all around the country are trying to ban most forms of birth control.

I didn't originate this attack, your homeboy did.

I will stand by my statement. Economic growth comes from investment, not consumption. However, retards will throw a ******* hissy over this simple fact.

Did you wear a helmet as a child?

Without an end user, the cycle of business stops.
You made a statement based on your own subjective conclusion. That investment creates economic growth. True, but not exclusively.
All facets of investment manufacture, transport, sales, purchase are all equally responsible for economic growth. No one part can create economic growth on it's own. All are equally important.

Yes yes yes....and of course you have proof of this....For Christ's sake will you please stop the nonsense.
Oh wait a minute.....What about those evil republican controlled pharmaceutical companies? They invent drugs and other products to control the risk of pregnancy....Oh shit.....Gotcha...
The BS flag is raised for you.

And your solution is what?

Your degrees are worthless.

The really funny thing about this argument? You're both wrong. Growth comes from the proper balance of investment and consumption. An economy of all investments wouldn't have any return on those investments because consumers aren't buying the goods produced. All consumption means no one is investing in the resources to build and innovate.

Go read the texts of the "personhood" amendments being proposed by Republicans all across the country. They define an embryo as a person from the time sperm hits the egg. That would ban many common forms of birth control, as estrogen-based birth control works by preventing implantation of the fertilized egg.

Teaching people when they are young to think of the consequences before they act.
Got a problem with that?
Now you will do what every other imbecilic liberal does and ask "but what about..."?
I will tell you what your brain will say for you to type....
"But what about the people who haven't been taught? Do we just throw them to the wolves?
Here is my response.
No. Adults can be educated as well. However no one can compel them to do the right thing. At that point they make a choice. With choices come responsibility. We all must deal with that.
Beyond that, should you feel compelled to do so, write a check. Do not expect the rest of us to support or condone bad choices.

Maybe these women should have thought before they fucked, probably to much to ask though.

Why? This is not law nor will it ever become law because the majority of Americans are to an extent, pro choice

You may as well tell a liberal they are of questionable lineage rather than mention to them the concept of personal responsibility.

Point? Your claim wasn't that it would not become law. It was that conservatives were not pushing for it.

 

[C_Clayton_Jones]

First, don’t incorrectly infer my disdain for the right as my being ‘liberal,’ as there is no such thing.

Teaching people when they are young to think of the consequences before they act.

And how will this be accomplished?

Do not expect the rest of us to support or condone bad choices.

Federal revenue hasn’t been used to pay for abortions for almost 30 years, per Federal statute. Your concern is moot.

 

[Harry Dresden]

So if "insurance don't do shit" then the answer is "government insurance"?....
You people are a ******* 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.

sorry Medicare was very little help......Medi-Cal was even worse.....and all the threads we have been in together you still think im for what you state here?.....having the federal government confiscate the majority of them upon the death of the owner?
.......geezus you pay attention dont you spoon........now its my turn to do the face palm.....

Look Ed, if the private sector doesn't insure these people, then the public sector must. Very simple.
Liberals are for death taxes. In fact at 55% many liberal politicians thought that number was too low. So what are you talking about, Norton?

???.....i guess you were talking to Ed"Rightwinger" Norton....

 

[Harry Dresden]

Liberals are for death taxes.

Every American is for the death tax. Taxing uber wealthy estates is on of the first places that we should tax.

America was built off of hard work and ingenuity, not perpetual and inherited wealth.

Go back to England and support the Queen.

EVERY AMERICAN?......as Dean would say.....link?.....

 

[Claudette]

But they leave farm subsidies unchanged.

I gotta say that while cuts need to be made to the budget, when Republicans cut food assistance to women, infants, and children while insisting on maintaining the Bush tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans, it only serves to reinforce the image of Republicans' as being cold and heartless.

Seems pretty foolish to me. It makes what they tried to do to Medicare look positively altruistic in comparison.

A spending bill to fund the nation's food and farm programs would cut the Women, Infants and Children program, which offers food aid and educational support for low-income mothers and their children, by $868 million, or 13 percent. An international food assistance program that provides emergency aid and agricultural development would drop by more than $450 million, one-third of the program's budget. The legislation passed 217-203.

As they cut other programs, lawmakers rejected two proposals that would have saved money by lowering the maximum amount of money a farmer can receive in subsidies from the government. While fiscal conservatives and other critics of subsidies argued that they need to be cut as lawmakers look for ways to save, farm-state members said those cuts should be pushed back until Congress considers a new five-year farm bill next year.

Food Aid Cuts For Women, Children Passed By House Republicans

Glad to hear it.

Now mayby all these welfare babes will go after their "babys Daddy" to support their little darlings instead of we the taxpayer.

If the "baby's daddy" don't step up to the plate then (gasp) the little dear may have to get a damned job and support herself and her little darling.

Cut away baby.

 

[Vanquish]

What retarded stereotypes some conservatives have about who is on welfare and who is the cause of the decline of our country. This amorphous lazy, poor, child factory mother (in their minds probably always a minority race) just makes too easy a scapegoat. THEY are hard-working. WELFARE recipients are not.

So ******* childish.
