New Social Security Program Would Give High School Graduates $25,000

[Crepitus]

Not all children are born with a silver spoon in their mouths.

Which is why I said you guys are some stingy bastards.

 

[Crepitus]

How about the power to plan your own future and not be dependent on the state for your future?

How does this program do that?

 

[Dogmaphobe]

It's all about one party rule, baby.

 

[Missouri_Mike]

Hate to ask the obvious but how is this constitutional?

 

[dblack]

Ok, so you're concerned about something that might possibly, maybe , happen at some point in the future.

Heh... no. I'm concerned about something that is inevitable. Something that always happens when the state starts doling out free shit.

But what you are really doing is dodging the question about high school grads being a special interest group and if you are one or not.

I don't know what you're poking at here. I guess you're just parsing words, pointing out that nearly everyone is a high school graduate. When what we're really talking about is upcoming high school graduates - more to the point their parents.

You just want to have a little side argument so you can avoid dealing with that fact your party is trying to buy votes. Again. So, yes. I'm a high school graduate. You are the wiener!

Given enough years of Democrat rulesl,we won't have a constitution to worry about

You claimed high school graduates are a special interest group.

That was just silly.

Now you're projecting your fears in an attempt to stop what could be a great help to future generations.

Not sure how you think unborn voters are gonna help us, seems to be another nebulous fear you have.

You win, dude! Go celebrate! And gleefully ignore my point altogether. Because I know goddamn well you can't defend against it. Free shit wins elections. Especially when you don't have much else going on.

Are you thinking that if you went out and finally got your g.e.d that they would include you?

Call it what it is...a college fund.

It's not, but Democrats consider the Constitution merely a speed bump.

General welfare clause for the win, baby!

 

[whitehall]

Make it retroactive and I might be interested in a fast 25 grand in my old age. The problem is that it's desperate bullshit crafted by democrats to try to buy votes.

General welfare doesn’t mean “some groups of people”.

 

[Leo123]

Is that 25 grand retroactive? I have my diploma.....

 

[dblack]

General welfare doesn’t mean “some groups of people”.

According to Hamilton, and the Court, it's an "implied power" allowing Congress to pass laws for anything they want, as long as it's "for a good cause".

MOre vote buying. People abhor vote buying. Until they don't.

My vote is totally for sale. But it's gonna take more than 25k. And I want the cash up front.

So put your money where your lying mouth is...

Donate YOUR retirement to them , and post proof!!!

So who decides it’s for a good cause? Doesn’t sound good to hand out money to teenagers and drive the debt and inflation even higher on everyone else,
