Only African Americans can judge what is the best for African American community. I agree with helping all people in need -- especially Minorities who are disproportionately poor.

Is being disproportionately poor a social liability or bad personal choices? In my view most all poverty is self-inflicted.
People born into poverty have much lower chance to succeed. It is possible to succeed against great odds, but it is rare.
African Americans and Native Americans have more hardship then other groups in USA.

By their own accord or because it wasn't avoidable? You know, people come here from other countries that were actually poor; not what we consider poor. They work night and day, save every dime they can, and eventually open up their own stores or get an advanced education. Being raised poor does not mean you are obligated to remain that way.
Fine with me, but you do the same. Go out and get your Class A CDL. It shouldn't be that hard. After all, they will only test you to see if you can drive in a straight line, right?
You mean the same 80,000 lbs vehicle I drove successfully for nearly 30 years without one accident in my name, not even a dent in the bumper, with no moving traffic violations on my license, no CSA 2010 points, even in our treacherous winters in Ohio? And the several years operating a vehicle weighing 20,000 lbs the same?
Yeah, we need to take a person like that off the road. Typical government thinking.
Your statement is what's known as political ignorance. It's why you people shouldn't be allowed to vote.
I noticed you evaded. Again, drove a truck in the Army... have no desire to do it again.
Your driving record wasn't the point, it was your physical condition, which by your own admission, keeps you from doing a lot of work.
No, it's actually an observation of history.
FDR adopted Keynesian economics. American prospered for nearly 40 years until old Tricky Dick came along.
Then Ronnie RayGun started dismantling the tax structure and government programs that made our economy tick for so long, and dismantled the unions.
The last 11 recessions, have all happened when Republicans were in charge. 3 Under Ike, 2 under nixon, 1 under Carter, 1 under Reagan, 1 under Bush, two under Bush 43 and 1 under Trump.
Republicans bring recessions, but have somehow fooled the stupid into thinking they know what they are doing with the economy.
You drove a straight truck. I learned how to drive one of those when I was 17 years old. The difference between a straight truck and a tractor-trailer is the similar to flying a single engine personal prop plane and a commercial jet.
It didn't keep me from driving. I can still do a lot of things, but I also need a lot of breaks, sometimes every ten minutes or so depending on what I'm doing. The point is that government didn't consider my perfect driving record, and they had their doctor--not mine who treats my conditions, make the determination on whether I could do my job or not.
And don't tell me it was for road safety, because this very same government allows foreigners to drive on our roads who never had to take our test, never had any experience behind the wheel, and some who can't read our road signs or speak a word of English.
Wait a minute, what government programs did Reagan get rid of? Name one policy of his that dismantled the unions. And don't bring up the air traffic controllers because they broke their contract by striking and were rightfully fired. Other than that, he never did anything to the unions.
Jr's recession happened because of the housing crash which the Democrats started.
Officers Paul Watts and Simon RussellSometimes its black cops shooting the black kidsHey, I think cops shooting kids in the back when they are lying on the ground probably has more to do with that.
sometimes its black cops shooting white kids
99.99% of cops are just doing their job combating crime in black neighborhoods
but the left for partisan political purposes chooses to whip up a political issue
I've had pilots tell me that they aren't much different. But that's neither her nor there.
yes, because their doctor is objective... your doctor isn't.
Those drivers qualify in their own countries... and frankly, if it was such a big deal, then why didn't Trump eliminate that provision when he renegotiated NAFTA?
Actually, that was kind of a big deal. Now, yes, reagan did spend like a Keynesian, but he didn't tax like one...that's why he tripled the National Debt in eight years.
The housing crash that took 16 years to happen? HOw does that work, exactly?
Officers Paul Watts and Simon Russell
He should have, but probably didn't being unaware of the situation. Presidents don't deal with those issues, bureaucracies do which is the entire problem in the first place.
Again with the political and constitutional ignorance. One more time: ALL APPROPRIATION BILLS ORIGINATE IN THE HOUSE. The President can propose his spending bill, but it's entirely up to the House to follow through or tell the President to go beat a salt bag. The President only signs the thing, as Reagan did under the leadership of a Democrat House.

Hurt People can succeed, but they are less likely to succeed.
Hurt People Hurt People.
Clinton had Cuomo create the reduction of restrictions late in his second term. The economy was in a free fall from the technology bust. GW got the economy going again, but eight months into his first term, 911 happened. Within a couple of years, he got the economy going again.
Actually, I would be willing to bet that people who LEGALLY migrated to to the US, regardless of race and with very little money, are more financially successfully overall than many so called under priviledged groups in our country. The US rewards hard work and gives EVERYONE the opportuity to succeed. Of course it is harder to start with very little money, but that doesn’t mean it can’t happen. The real key is the have the drive to work hard and NOT to sit around complaining about how difficult it is waiting for help or free stuff from the government.
The funny thing about Reagan is that he's the only Republican since Teddy Roosevelt who left office without leaving a recession (Hoover, Ike, Nixon, Ford, Both Bushes, Trump), being forced to resign (Nixon), or getting voted out of office (Taft, Hoover, Ford, Bush-41, Trump). So what you guys have to do is build this mythology around him that all the bad stuff wasn't his fault.

if you have the resources to legally immigrate to the US, then you probably already have a leg up on most Americans. Immigrating to the US costs about $11,000. Most people couldn't come up with that in this country without taking out loans. It's nearly impossible for all but the most affluent in other countries.
But I'm sure you're very proud of your Double-Wide.
The fact you include Trump in simply hilarious. Had the Chinese no released the virus on the world, the US would be absolutely KILLING it on the economic front. We are not in a v-shape recovery and the economy will boom for a bit since it is opening back up. Demented Joe will give out more money to people trying to falsely prop up his disastrous economic agenda for a bit, but it will fail and fail horribly.
We have been through this before but Democrats are either too dense, too ignorant or a bit of both to get it. Falsely propping up the economy by giving short-term fixes like stimulus and handouts is a recipe for disaster.
Allowing people to keep more of their hard earned money helps the economy, not taking it and doling out as government sees fit. The EU model the left adores so much allows for very little exceptionalism and rewards mediocrity. Of course the mediocre and even less love this model, the exceptional, not so much. The true ruling class, ultra-elites(Bezos, Gates, et al) want more power and they will have it in such a model.
Not sure why I waste my time. Very few die-hard Democrats can be convinced they have been wrong or misled. Admitting fault takes humility, introspection and an open mind. These traits are essentially taken away by programming from pre-K on.
