1. What's "public assistance" amount to in your neck of the woods for a

The real issue is "where is dad"?



No, the real issue is that there are impoverished kids in this country

who did not ask to be born.



I suppose I could total up all of the programs but I have better

things to do. The real question is, do we have a way to break this

circle of poverty. In that regard Carson is a hero.



Carson may be a fine doctor, but when it comes to social issues, he is

just another right-wing asshole who happens to be black.



All of those programs you love so much, simply perpetuate that

lifestyle ... even down to the failed school system.



And your plan for taking care of the kids is...???







2. No, not "mostly the ones who are going broke." Most modern civilized

nations have mandated paid vacation periods for private and public

sector workers.





If you are talking about southern Europe, including France, we can go

back to "they are going broke".







No one has done more since the 1980s to **** over this country than the

rich.

Nice rant.. How many poor people hire anyone?





The rich and their corporations broke the social compact with workers and

they are doing their best to make sure the gaps are not filled.

Worker-serfs is what is wanted. Corporations uber alles.



50 years ago we had ADC: aid dependent children. How much did the kid

really get? Lots went to mom or dad buying booze, clothes, smokes and

maybe a baloney sandwich for the children. Probably not much changes,

except now mom buys drugs.





Bull****. Florida spent a ton of money forcing drug testing on welfare

recipient and found out that only a tiny percentage were users.

Is that why you didn't pay your taxes down there?
