Republicans need to understand that the key to economic growth is giving people free shit

[leftwinger]

you can see what 50 years of "free stuff" produces by looking at DET CHI STL ESTL CAMDEN CLEVE on and on. All inner city DemWit give-away areas with 3-5 generations of hand-outs. They learn "the system" is the way of life and pass it on to kids. Many kids. Basically paid to breed DemWit voters. I am not saying they are the only ones using the system but.......long long time of use.

Wow. What a country.

 

[Billy000]

What are you even talking about? Do you not understand the word illegal?

Yes, but Obama and you Dims obviously don't. You think it means someone who is entitled to free food, housing, medical care and schooling.

lol illegals don't qualify for food stamps.

You're wrong, dead wrong

Lol they make that pretty clear on the terms for applying.

You're going to sit there and tell me illegals don't get EBT and insurance? They are not legally entitled but they do get them

Lol how? Where are these statistics of illegals getting EBT? They do not exist.

See when the Great Recession was in full swing, Obama was smart enough to understand that if millions of people lost their jobs against their will, they needed a safety net. That meant extending unemployment benefits as a part of his stimulus package. What republicans were too dumb to understand is that those lost jobs were GONE. They didn't go to anyone else. That means those millions of people were hopelessly unemployed.until NEW jobs could be created. Fortunately, the extension of those benefits had another function. It created a stimulus that actually helped to create jobs. People are broke when they lose their jobs. So when they received those benefits, it allowed them to spend money they wouldn't have had otherwise. That means they spent it IMMEDIATELY on essentials like food, clothing and shelter. This prompt boost in consumer spending created economic growth in the market and therefore JOBS.. This, in addition to a big tax cut for the middle class and expansion of food stamps for the very poor created 3 million private jobs. GDP from the stimulus package alone went up 2%.

Why Unemployment Benefits Are the Best Stimulus

CBO: Stimulus added up to 3.3M jobs

Was the Obama Stimulus a Success or a Failure?

Businesses don't do better with ridiculous tax cuts for the wealthy corporations as republicans would like you to believe. Why? Because it's just easier for business owner(s) to keep the money they save for themselves rather than invest it for the greater good of the economy. We know this doesn't work because otherwise Bush's huge tax cuts would have been able to prevent the great recession from even happening. Obviously that didn't happen. Republicans are stupid.

We've given away roughly 18.5 trillion dollars in free stuff. I ain't seeing a helluva lot of Bentlys driving around!

Yeah huge tax cuts for the wealthy and defense spending don't pay for Bentelys...

Why is it that Illegal Aliens Get Free Food Stamps, Health Insurance and Pay No Taxes?
Written by James Hirby | Fact checked by The Law Dictionary staff

Americans who are struggling to survive due to high unemployment and low wages may be asking why illegal aliens receive benefits from state and federal governments. Federal law does prevent illegal aliens from receiving benefits meant for American citizens. The only benefit that illegal aliens are allowed is emergency medical care.


Just because illegal aliens are not legally entitled to these benefits does not mean they do not apply for them. Yes. It is true that illegal aliens have received grants, professional accreditations, loans, WIC, disability, public housing, college educations, food stamps, unemployment benefits, and tax credits from state and federal agencies.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, at least one third of foreign born citizens in the United States are illegal aliens. Since children born in the United States are considered U.S. Citizens, it becomes complicated when illegal aliens then bear children who are U.S. Citizens.

If the U.S. government sent the parents of these children away, we would be separating families. Now that these families have given birth to U.S. citizens, the families are eligible for benefits such as WIC and food stamps. Benefits such as these are for low income families. Illegal aliens often work in low paying jobs so they now qualify for benefits.

Illegal immigrants enter the country by overstaying their visa. Officers of the law do not make it a habit to stop people and ask to see their papers. What this means is that if a person overstays their visa, they can find ways to work and receive benefits.



Law Dictionary: Why is it that Illegal Aliens Get Free Food Stamps, Health Insurance and Pay No Taxes?

lol I'm sorry did you notice how your article didn't actually say how many illegals were getting EBT? It's complete bullshit.

whether they know it or not, they're giving > 1/2 of the budget ($500+ BILLION) to bloated defense contractors on the gov't teet. EVERY other giveaway dwarfs in comparison.

That's why he came up with no worker left behind.

Obamas recovery worked. If you can't find work you don't have a skill or education.

Republicans are a joke. Let's put another George Bush in charge. Retards

Don't let the facts get in the way. Rewrite history to make Obama look good

Where did stimulus money really go? | Fox News...........

http://www.aei.org/publication/cbo-obama-stimulus-may-have-cost-as-much-as-4-1-million-a-job/

This was a wealth transfer to unions and dem supporters.

And you have to love,the economics. A dollar in food stamps creates a 1.50 in benefits. So why would anyone invest in anything else. If we all,just got food,stamps,the economy would grow by 50 per cent a year, case closed.

Fox News? Are you kidding me? You think that filth is factual? You just embarrassed yourself.

The CBO also said the stimulus created 3 million private jobs and reversed the jobs free fall that began under Bush.

 

[ninja007]

The key to economic growth is education for jobs that pay well, infrastructure, science, and r&d investment allowing for good high paying jobs.

We must also be mindful of ones ability to start up a new business when we issue taxes and regulations.

 

[ninja007]

science, r&d, infrastructure.

You get that the money the government gives to other people is taken from people....which they then can't use to actually stimulate growth and the economy...so you have stimulated nothing.....

Billy-boy just figured it all out. We make everyone billionaires by giving them lots of free stuff. It is so simple! What could possibly go wrong?

$500 billion is only 1/8th of the budget, nimrod.

 

[JoeNormal]

Well if you were one of the people who lost their jobs in the great recession, you would be singing a very different tune.

I lost my job in great recession. Laid off in 2009.

So you didn't get unemployment benefits? How long were you unemployed for? Did you have money saved or did you get assistance from anyone?

Only losers live in vacuums. Weaklings. Government tit-suckers.

Um okay but that doesn't answer my questions. How did you get by? Did you get help from ANYONE at all?

I don't live in a vacuum.

If that doesn't answer your question, your answering me is a waste of keystrokes.

LMFAO! You sound like Craig T. Nelson

 

[Misty]

Yo....someone is paying for that "free shit"

Yes they are. Of course no one is paying for tax cuts. I guess that's the difference huh? Cutting revenue only makes the government borrow more.

It's been proven that even if you raised taxes on the rich to 100% it wouldn't pay for everything. If you raise taxes on the middle class it won't pay for anything. The budget is so inflated that no amount of taxing can save it.

No one is saying it would pay down the debt. It would just keep the debt from getting larger. That's why the tax burden must be on the wealthy. That's where most of our revenue can be generated.

No it wouldn't. The only way to keep the debt from getting larger is to stop spending.

 

[g5000]

I take advantage of all the free shit the government gives me. I take the mortgage interest deduction. I use the employer-sponsored health insurance tax exemption. I take child tax credits. And so forth, and so on.

Together, we Americans take $1.2 TRILLION of this free shit every year. TWICE the amount of free shit given out in the form of welfare programs.

We are all on the dole. Every last one of us.

Not only that, the Bush tax cuts were the beginning of our many trillions of debt. And then the most ignorant of the ignorant will say, "but but but Obama extended them". Yea, because he was blackmailed.

See Republicans say Obama hates this country, but Obama can be blackmailed when Americans are suffering. Republicans are at the root of that suffering and they just don't give a shit. So who hates America? Fuckers.

Unemployment benefits: not until Bush tax cuts pass, Senate GOP says
