i was forced to help pay for a war of choice in Iraq that was started for no reason...
i'll be fine with you getting your pennies back for "welfare" so long as i get my bucks back for Iraq.
loon, pennies for welfare? you gotta be kidding.
compared to what you guys wasted on iraq for no reason?
poor willow.
General Welfare = Free Shit for Everybody
YAY!!!!!!!!!!!
well then we should mandate abortions for all unwed pregnancies and end the deficit. Why didn't I think of that? Joe the Taxpayer can pay for one abortion and one sterilization performed at the same time. No more than that per woman.yeah, make the kids starve...
but go try to make it illegal for the women to get easily available, insurance covered and safe abortions...
while insurance companies pay for viagra.
which is smarter? Birth control or abortions? You want us the AMerican taxpayer to now pay for convenient easily avoided abortions.
finiancially it is a sound decision. cheaper to abort than to support on welfare for 18 years.

Huh?
Not sure where that came from.
I simply said that whereas I am for smaller government, if I am forced to put into SS, then I will take advantage of it.
If I was not forced to put into SS, then I would not put into it and take from it as I am against larger government
where did it come from?
your complaint was that you didn't want to be forced to pay for things like health insurance so that others could be covered and we could afford to do it.
my response was to name something that *I* did not choose to pay for or want to pay for but was forced to pay for.

Well, finally a lefty admits that abortion is all about money. So, now that we've established that human life to them is ultimately about $$.. let's trust them with everyone's health care.
Curious...
If there was no welfare, food stamps, or government assistance programs....and a parent used their money to buy alcohol and a big screen tv...and the poor child starves to death....would it be the governments fault for not having programs to ensure that child eats?
Now, lets say that parent found a way to sell their entitlements for drugs and alcohol and so, once again the child starves to death....iwho's fault is it in that case?
Finally....just curious....exactly when was the last time that you heard a child had starved to death in the US?

Sorry Jillian.....
By no means was that what my post was saying.
I responded to someone who made a comment about how it is hypoctritical for those of us to take advantage of SS and Medicare if we are nbot for larger government..
And I simply pointed out that if we are forced to have money taken out of our paychex for those, then it is not hypoicritical...we are paying for the service...not by choice...but we are paying for it...so it is not hypocritical to use it.

A great leap of illogical reading incomprehension there, but whatever floats your boat.
Pretty much says it all.cheaper to abort than to support

don't lie and mischaracterize what i said. if you don't understand my comment, i'll be happy to explain for the comprehension-impaired.

Us guys wasted on Iraq?
Correct me if I am wrong....but wasnt it a bi-partisan vote to enter Iraq?

Again.. for the slow on the uptake...

you do realize that we had welfare reform back in the 90's, right? no question there is some abuse, but i'm pretty sure that people don't use their welfare money to buy cadillacs. (just to carry on the racial stereotype that's been running through this thread).
As for your question? Is that the only measure of poverty as far as you're concerned? How many children die? How about asking how many children rely on the food they get at school in order NOT to starve to death; how many people have to choose between food and medication; how many people are malnourished? how many people can barely afford to eat and pay for housing and pay for clothing?
your question, while an interseting exercise is only one small piece. and i'm not really interested in looking for such an answer. i'd hope not a single child dies of starvation in this country. it would be a travesty for the richest country in the world to allow children to die for lack of food. we aren't subsaharan africa. should we be?
