Not enough money to help Americans, but more than enough to put troops all over the world?

[rdean]

When I comes to helping Americans, whether it's disaster victims or those on food stamps, disabled or born into poverty, Republicans insist we don't have the money.

I never, ever thought I would say this, but it looks as if me and Pat Buchanan are on the same page when it comes to crazy, war mongering Republicans. This from the American Conservative:

http://www.theamericanconservative.com/buchanan/

Today, the entire Shiite Crescent—Iran, Iraq, Bashar Assad’s Syria, Hezbollah—is fighting ISIS. All these Shiites are de facto allies in any war against ISIS. But should we attack Iran, they will become enemies. And what would war with Iran mean for U.S. interests?

With its anti-ship missiles and hundreds of missile boats, Iran could imperil our fleet in the Persian Gulf and Arabian Sea. The Gulf could be closed to commercial shipping by a sinking or two. Hezbollah could go after the U.S. embassy in Beirut. The Green Zone in Baghdad could come under attack by Shiite militia loyal to Iran.

Listen for long to GOP foreign-policy voices, and you can hear calls for war on ISIS, al-Qaeda, Boko Haram, the Houthi rebels, the Assad regime, the Islamic Republic of Iran, to name but a few.

Are we to fight them all? How many U.S. troops will be needed? How long will all these wars take? What will the Middle East look like after we crush them all? Who will fill the vacuum if we go? Or must we stay forever?

Nor does this exhaust the GOP war menu. Enraged by Vladimir Putin’s defiance, Republicans are calling for U.S. weapons, trainers, even troops, to be sent to Ukraine and Moldova.

---------------------------------------------------------

When Republicans invaded Iraq, they knew nothing about the country, it's history, it's people or it's religion. And look at the disaster they caused. Now they want to fight everyone everywhere. Will America be stupid enough to follow the crazies? In the mean time, there are Americans who could use some help.

Obama is still fighting wars. And the war on poverty has been fought for decades with little to no success.

We've been giving away TRILLIONS for the last fifty years and guess what, dirtbag?

The povery level is still the same.

Ever consider that maybe, just maybe, some people LIKE being poor?

Seems to me most dimocraps do. You do it so well

dimocraps are lying scum

And the people they elect aren't any better

We should pull our military out of foreign countries and let them pay for their own protection.

Then we should park our military on all of our borders air land and sea to do what they are supposed to do

Protect the country.

It is simply amazing just how intelligent, wise, knowledgeable, and insightful some are on these pages, or is it that they are so full of crap they can't see the forest through the trees.

That's what happens when humans feed the animals (other humans) and then it just grows exponentially as the word spreads. It's called communism, or sucking the victims into eternal mendicancy. Liberals/democrats/socialists are experts at creating it...in exchange for VOTES*.

*See NOballsa's illegal immigrant scheme.

Good God, does the OP have any idea how many trillions of $ have been spent to help the poor?

How many trillions have been spent in Iraq?

(patiently)

The Federal government isn't supposed to "help Americans" by handing out goodies to them. They are supposed to protect their rights. And otherwise stay out of their way. Says so right in the Constitution. Because sensible people know that will ultimately hurt more then it helps.

You want to hand them goodies, feel free to write them a check and/or fill up a truck or twenty. And persuade your neighbors to do the same. But quit trying to force others to do it.

 

[jknowgood]

It seems to me just a couple years back. The democrats had full and total control. Why didn't they solve the poor delima you're whining about?

Far less than that spent on welfare queens and other parasites, no doubt.

Sadly it's the way of the new movement Conservatives. The ruse of "small government" is a smokescreen. The reality is simple. They consider anyone who receives assistance from the government to be a leech who is happily living off of the government and who's money should be cut immediately. All in the name of creating a "smaller government". Yet at the same time they turn absolutely apoplectic if someone mentions reducing the rate of growth of military spending or, God forbid, actually cutting the military budget. Their "small government" stance is bullshit. They want government. But they want government in the areas they demand. And the overwhelming bulk of that government should be in defense spending. Military spending. Huge R&D budgets. And without a doubt Endless War. They will happily roll from one conflict to the next. There is no war too small or no disagreement between countries that a few thousand American troops and a few trillion American dollars can't fix. It's the liberal interventionist neo-conservative way.

republicans are not exactly beacons of truth......and the people they put up are just as useless as the democrats....

Actually, the poverty level is getting worse when measured against real benchmarks like home ownership, buying value of the dollar, affordability of colleges, etc. The Economist Magazine, left in its tilt but always an excellent source of information, sounded the warning knell at least a dozen years ago regarding the disparity of wealth between the 1%ers and the rest of our human zoo. "If the gap continues," warned the magazine, "the free market system itself will collapse." Meanwhile, Forbes add 290 new Americans to their list of billionaires this year.

 

[Staidhup]

The point the OP is very clear in making is that government support is just not enough to make him or her feel happy and content, the hell with national security, as long as they have enough to live as they wish, furthermore will employ whatever argument they can dream of to justify their desire to have more for nothing. So enlightened, rather entitled, just a parasite living off the host thread.

Good parody of the lefties. Should be sent to The Onion!

They had a good start. The number one cause of bankruptcy under Bush was Medical Bills. Republicans are determined to return to the good old days.
