repub requirements for work target low income people over 50...most who already work.

[BluesLegend]

Except there are already work requirements in most states.

Then Biden and Dems should have no problem with the GOP on this.

 

[initforme]

The nation would be hugely benefitted if millions of 50 year olds retired. The system should be tweaked to ensure it.

So desantis is announcing his candidacy tomorrow with billionaire, Musk. That is exactly who the repubs worship.

What is wrong with someone between 50-55 that is not disabled or caring for a disabled kid to work 20 hours a week? Hell, they should work more than that.

I'm mixed on the tax cuts but lean towards letting them expire for the rich.

Nope. the repubs want the rich to pay less than you and I for taxes. The disparity between the rich and the poor in this country has never been larger. That is the way repubs planned it.

This is old news.

You are really obtuse. Google it

How much debt is reasonable to stick our children with since 31 trillion doesn't make you blink? They get nothing for it, the're just paying our bills. So how much IS reasonable to do to them?

Are you fucking kidding? I have been saying this for as long as we have been on forums together, and now all of a sudden you give a shit about the debt?

I googled ADD instead.

But but but,,,,a Dem is in the WH....so it is now a crisis.

GOP work requirements target people 50+ â but many already work

Many Americans in their early 50s take care of older loved ones.

The repubs want to reduce expenditures by targeting poor people....again. But they want to make the Tax Cut for the Rich permanent.

Salon
I laugh.

 

[Billiejeens]

My question.

That's troubling because the cost of proGfessional child care and elder care, as well as the care for the disabled, is very high in the U.S.

Let's say a percentage are taking care of elderly or infirmed relatives. They get a small bit of food benefit help. They have to go to work instead leaving the elderly and infirmed where? Going into nursing homes covered by Medicaid? Will this lower the debt or actually raise it?

Is their any point where some level of personal responsibility is more important in the long run than the current debt?

Thread title is a lie, linked article title is a lie, shocker there. Several more lies in the article until you get to the truth of what is actually proposed. People age 50 - 55 without dependents or disability will be required to take training, look for a job or perform community service. Oh the horror.

And the work requirement is only 20 hours a week. Dems seem to think everybody is as lazy and incompetent as they are.

 

[Billiejeens]

I get that retardation is your thing, but the Republicans pased a plan for raising the limit.
Your side just sucks dick and cries.

How is taking care of the elderly or imfirm not being responsible?

 

[JimH52]

Wait until the next repub get in office and the debt ceiling will need to be raised. All these people that are so concerned about the deficit.....will be gone. Crickets....chirp

 

[Zincwarrior]

You neo-Marxist clods don't want any work requirements for anyone...You're only now hiding behind the oldsters like the craven terrorists that y'all are.

If its about debt why is it there?

[Ray From Cleveland]

Republicans are pissed off that the masses aren't miserable enough. Living in misery is a core evangelical value.

You mean like paying the price we are for gasoline and utilities because of an unproven myth like global warming? Or outlawing natural gas lines in new builds in places like CA and NY? Or giving criminals a slap on the hand for violent crimes only to be released back out into the streets of innocents?

 

[Ralph Norton]

Dems just want to give free shit to everyone.

And MAGAs want to giive it all to the rich.

Republicans don't want to give a damn thing to the rich - just want to let them keep the money that they earned and/or accumulated.
