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

[rightwinger]

That stupid chart is bullshit.

Defense spending in 2023 will be $1.2 trillion.

The total fucking Federal, State and Local spending for 2023 will be $12 trillion.

Defense spending is 1/10th the cost of government in the US.

State and local Governments don’t have Armies

If you want to include them you will have to include State Police, Local Sheriffs and Police Depts

Then why did you vote for a warmonger?

Why’d you vote for Republican control of the budget, dope?
Your speaker wants to cut benefits that their base depends on. Hello 2024.

 

[Hutch Starskey]

Where do you come up with all the revenue? They only have $4T.....but yet the want to spend $6.8T. figure it out.

It’d be nice to have that 2t in tax revenue Trump gave away right about now.

 

[Hutch Starskey]

The federal government spends more than $20 billion a year on subsidies for farm businesses. LOL!

Tax CORPORATIONS more? Then they raise prices. Then they don't hire. Then no one spends...round and round.
You won't gain nothing there.

The reason the economy took off during 2017-2019 was Business Tax cut. they hired. GOVT revenue increased.
Sure you can "TRY" to raise it.....but how much? how much do you generate? not initially but 7 months down the road. you don't know.

70+% of the farm bill is nutrition programs, dope.

 

[Hutch Starskey]

You don't go to church much, do you?

The Bible says that charity should come from the heart, family and church community. Nothing about the damn government.

Nothing against it either , dope.
You can’t loophole god.

 

[Hutch Starskey]

If you want to help the poor.....maybe the FED GOVT is not the best way? the overhead in FED is off the charts.
Maybe a choice for Citizens....pay Tax dollars or send it to the POOR FOOD FUND...private of course. more effective.

Maybe you should tell the rural folks to live where the opportunity is rather than rely on subsidies.

 

[Hutch Starskey]

Take care of you own family.

Do you understand that concept?

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

Can’t help a rural population who live where the jobs aren’t.

 

[Hutch Starskey]

Duh. So these people won’t be impacted. The only ones impacted are the ones who WON’T GET A JOB! Now they’ll have to or the money spigot gets turned off.

(Anyone notice how leftists, in trying to win an argument they can’t defend, revert to arguing about things nobody is talking about?)

I just gave you the stats, dope. Most work.

 

[Hutch Starskey]

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).

How many of those grannies are white in rural America?

 

[Hutch Starskey]

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

Sad.

So what will you do when they’re born poor?

 

[Hutch Starskey]

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.

Mostly white rural Republican voters as I’ve shown you, dope.
What will you do for them?

 

[Hutch Starskey]

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

Even if they’re Republican voters?
Then they wonder why they never win.

 

[CowboyTed]

You are confused about this, aren't you?.

I am quite capable of making my own decisions on my obligations to give the money I make to whoever I think is deserving. I am actually a very generous person and probably contribute a lot more in charity every year than any of you Moon Bats do.

I beleive in Liberty and don't want some filthy ass politician, who was elected by greedy special interest groups, to decide what I have to give.

Welfare is using the government to steal and it is wrong. No welfare, subsidies, entitlements, grants or bailouts.

I pay plenty of taxes to pay for police and fire protections. A lot more than the despicable welfare queens that you love so much.

Some people didn't want to spend trillions in Iraq.

That is how democracy works...

 

[Hutch Starskey]

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.

If you can’t afford it then you’re a loser.
See how that works?
Always bigger fish.

 

[Hutch Starskey]

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...

Above their ability to recognize.

 

[Hutch Starskey]

Is that any different than LWNJs calling the wealthy greedy and evil?

To which “wealthy” are you referring?

 

[Orangecat]

If you can’t afford it then you’re a loser.

Can't afford what, subsidizing losers like yourself?
It's not a matter of affordability, it's a matter of personal responsibility for one's own life and decisions, dumbass.

 

[Hutch Starskey]

There was a time when she didn't work because she had been a stay at home mother while her husband was an E-6 in the Army. What should she have done then?

She has no empathic ability. She will never be able to comprehend.

 

[Orangecat]

To which “wealthy” are you referring?

The ones you losers constantly broadbrush.
If you want to converse with me, say something intelligent or you will be ignored.

 

[Hutch Starskey]

Can't afford what, subsidizing losers like yourself?
It's not a matter of affordability, it's a matter of personal responsibility for one's own life and decisions, dumbass.

Until you or yours need it if course. Then it’s indispensable.
But you don’t have the ability to understand that.
