Ron Johson rails against funding child care: "having children is a choice...it's not society's responsability to take care of other people's children"

[Penelope]

Is that it?

a Newsweek story is your arguement?

hum

I could easily tie the feminist snowflake who wrote that article in knots if she were here

but she isnt

so I win by default

Its true he is anti-abortion.

 

[Mac-7]

Its true he is anti-abortion.

Johnson is also for personal responsibility

which seems to be a stumbling block for single women who like to sleep around

 

[Resnic]

Having and caring for children is the sole responsibility of the parent(s). If you can't afford children, don't have them. If you haven't achieved your career/lifetime goals yet, don't have them.

Agreed.

A house, kids, an expensive car, student loan, abortions, those all choices people make and are responsible for being able to pay for them. No one is owed any of those things. If you want them then work for them, it's not everyone else's job to provide you with those things.

If you can't afford something then don't buy it and kids are one of the most damned expensive things you can have. People need to stop and really think "should I have kids?"

I would however approve a bill that would allow men and women to recieve free sterilization procedures once they turn say 18. Purely optional of course.

It's not my job or the tax payers job to make sure someone else's bad decisions are paid for.

 

[initforme]

It's also not my job to pay for roads or road maintenance as a taxpayer either.

 

[White 6]

If not slanted by perspective, that still does not make Johnson into a level-headed, clear eyed, representative. Yes. He has always been a partisan hack, dick.

Then we should immediately repeal the child tax credit.

 

[g5000]

Ok. Here is something I can comment on

Family values are for suckers: Ron Johnson unloads child care costs on families

Sen. Ron Johnson on child care costs:"Well, people decide to have families...[Child care costs are] something they need to consider when they make that choic...

m.youtube.com

In lib la la land where ron johnson critics live everything is so simple

find a need and rush up to washington to demand federal dollars to address that need

if libs had their way America would be a third world welfare state or worse

someone has to be the adult in the room and in this case its ron johnson

We need to immediately repeal the child tax credit as well.

It takes a village.

The unEarned Child Tax Credit that gifts single moms up to $7,500 a year

its a scam

We paid for your education because we thought you’d be a better person for society. Even though we we’re wrong in your instance most people are better for it. Same with child care.

Child care makes you a better person?

Because, somehow, someone else raising your kids part time who does not truly care for them as a parent does is a societal boon.....

Who knew.

Who knew.

So you are against child care even for people who can afford it?

Who knew?

I guess we better stop sending kids to school, too. In loco parentis, after all.

 

[FA_Q2]

Yes, yes we should.

And I have 3 kids.

 

[FA_Q2]

Where did I say that G?

Nowhere. Not one ******* place. Stop being an idiot.

 

[g5000]

Yes, yes we should.

And I have 3 kids.

We should repeal all tax expenditures. That's my thing.

 

[g5000]

Where did I say that G?

Nowhere. Not one ******* place. Stop being an idiot.

Where did you say that?

"Because, somehow, someone else raising your kids part time who does not truly care for them as a parent does is a societal boon....."

It's implicit.

Ironically the government historically has made anything slowing down people popping out children illegal. Contraception was illegal, abortion was illegal, they even made family planning illegal. Strange that you talk about taking responsibility for having children, when the government (the states) are doing everything to take away the choice.

 

[DGS49]

Expecting people to follow MIDDLE-CLASS VALUES is too much for Democrats to countenance. They treat pregnancy and child birth in the same way that they treat mosquito bites. They just happen, and there's nothing that anyone can do about it.

There was a time in the not-too-distant past, when inexpensive birth control was not available, when abortion was not available on every street corner, and people who engaged in reproductive behavior had to assume the risk that the female participant would become pregnant. At such times, if the said female was not married, the sperm injector was expected to, and usually did, marry the *****. Hence, they would have the resources to nurture the child even though its origins were not "planned."

Now modern, safe, effective birth control is ubiquitous, and abortion is usually available, but the Lefties are still treating children as though they were a completely serendipitous phenomenon, the responsibility for which should be shared in common amongst the People, the vast majority of whom live their lives more prudently.

It is sooooooooooo easy to be kind and compassionate with other peoples' money.

 

[meaner gene]

Child care makes you a better person?

You can't get a job if you don't have child care. And you need a job to avoid being a burden of society.

 

[meaner gene]

Now modern, safe, effective birth control is ubiquitous, and abortion is usually available,...

But not in Texas, and to other states near you.

What is illegal about having kids? And what is illegal now that prevents people from having children?
