Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s new debt limit negotiating proposal will include broad moves to restrict food assistance for millions of low-income Americans

I still don't see how you expect a Single Mother with 7 kids from 5 fathers (the AVG DEM success story) to go to work? It is a full time job cleaning house, cooking, driving kids, Doctors, dental.....boyfriends coming by to "hit it again".

Again, Check out how many "30 yr old Grandmothers" are in America. The kids do just like Mommy did (to get on the payroll).

Great pro abortion post!

Great post for responsibility!

 

[MagicMike]

No, great post for both control and responsibility. Double up on methods and the odds of an unplanned pregnancy are nil.

Better check with The Catholic Church on that one.

^^^The anti-science left: the only way to avoid having children is to get pregnant and kill the baby.

What about the 5 fathers getting jobs and paying child support. And the mother, in her 20s, can live with her own mother, in her 40s, and at least one of them can get a job too.

As it stands now, grandmama, mama, and the five fathers can get away without having a job between all seven of them.

I don’t know anyone who doesn’t use birth control (or did - we’re all old now) during their childbearing years, Catholic or not.

Fiscal Year 2024 starts on Oct 1 2023

Do you think it's 10/1/2023?

Where is McCarthys budget?
What is he waiting for?

Do you think I'm his spokesman or something?
Logic says he is probably busy with other things that need to get done before October, dumbass.

If you demand $1T-$2T annually to hand out to "the poor" then you have to pay for it. Plus COST of FED GOVT to siphon that money from us (IRS) then hire (HUD, SNAP) people to decide who gets how much.....($0.5B gone into that)....give the FED medical, Dental, Cars, housing, trips, seminars, parties....etc. for life with $10K/mo pension.

Starting to look like it takes REAL MONEY to take care of the poor. ~$50K per person annually probably.

 

[Orangecat]

If you are poor then go get a job and stop helping to elect Liberals that screws up the economy with failed Leftest policies.

The reality of the "welfare" drain on society is that corporate welfare fleeces taxpayers for around 100 million dollars annually while all the public assistance to the poor combined only counts for about 11 billion.

Welfare for the Well-Off: How Business Subsidies Fleece Taxpayers

Federal subsidies to U.S. businesses now cost American taxpayers nearly $100 billion a year. If all corporate welfare programs were eliminated, Congress would have enough money to entirely eliminate the capital gains tax and the death tax. Alternatively, Congress could cut the personal and...

Here is how it works. A work commuter in CA can avoid the same deep pothole for 14 yrs going into work (to pay taxes).

If lynseed Gramm hits a bump (chauffered to work) in DC....he is on the phone DEMANDING some poor black come fix that pothole that night at 3AM in the cold.

get the picture now? It is them vs. US. They stole power. They are raiding the treasury....handing out trinkets to the poor.

No, they place restrictions on them. We can’t continue to just give money from responsible people to irresponsible people. The responsible people are having trouble paying their own bills.

That is overly simplistic and typically rightist: attach a moral quality to poverty. If they are poor they must be irresponsible and lazy.

It's irrelevant anyway, you already sent all the money to Ukraine for guns and bombs.

Whataboutism doesn't justify wealth redistribution, regardless of the scale.
No one is entitled to the fruits of another person's labor without their permission. That is a form of slavery.

 

[CowboyTed]

For starters, there's $196 billion that won't be getting invested in America.

US leads the rest of the world with $196 billion given to Ukraine amid war with Russia

By your own article Germany eighth the size of US has pledged $171billion....

Seriously, are you going there...

By the way Germany has also take over a million refugees...

 

[CowboyTed]

^^^Look at this warmonger pretending to oppose a foreign war. What about the billions going to Ukraine?

Let's be clear...

Helping Ukraine ia about supporting US word given to Ukraine when they gave up Nuclear Arms...

It is also incredible value for money when considering the cost of the GOP wars of stupidity...

Less than $80 has been spent so far and Russian army has been halved... That is the bargain of the century in military in intervention...

Also Putin has to be stopped, he is a bully and bullies have to be weakened before they go too far..

I think the problem you are having is that this is a highly successful intervention. Biden has managed to get Russia to its knees without putting a single boot on the ground.. He is handing out lessons in how to fight a war without even trying...

Biden has already prepared his budget

If McCarthy wants spending cuts, the annual budget is the place to put them.
The need to raise the deficit is because of budgets that have already passed
