@sh76 saidGiving money of taxpayers, to other citizens, is disguised in your post as ‘funding’. I earn $1000, send it to DC on April 15 as my annual tax payment, and govt sends it to a guy (funds?🤫) in Utah..
The "give money to each citizen" is the UBI idea (universal basic income). The theory is:
1. We have the resources to provide everyone with a minimal standard of living.
2. Let people decide how to consume resources rather than limiting welfare to specific goods and services, like earmarking them for food or housing.
3. Build a capitalist infrastructure on top of that; i.e. ...[text shortened]... ea, and is not at all a socialist principle. The UBI assumes a capitalist economy on top of the UBI.
SH76, your post needs some serious tweaking to appear doable. I know, a tough one.
We want you to give it a go. As to that timeworn explanation that it gives people money to put back into the economy,… I could have done that same thing with that thousand dollars.
Geez. Had not pegged you as a liberal.
@Cliff-Mashburn saidI am heavily involved in one in the state of Georgia, an abandoned Air Force Base that has been running smoothly, and it is not running anymore. So I only speak from that experience.
I believe it was 90 Job Corps locations that were found to be fraudulent, not training or placing anyone, just collecting money. Job Corps itself is still in operation last I heard.
@wildgrass saidTrump wants to stop sending money to PBS and the imposing Kennedy Center. Tell me, do you think that the government should give money to the Kennedy Center? Why would they do that?
That's exactly what Joe shared, y'all must be on the same Facebook thread.
The government is bragging about shedding less than 1% of the federal workforce. At the same time they have expanded spending for the federal government by $200 billion, ICE funding is 8x higher. Both of these things are true. The government is growing, and that growth has accelerated under trump.
@AverageJoe1 saidyeah I just checked, Job Corps funding has been pulled......

But we already a Job corps program nationwide, it's called school.

@Cliff-Mashburn saidA nice post, why can libs not debate in normal patter?

Big diff in public schools and job corps, all the way down to JOB PLACEMENT. We all know what pub schools are, but corps is more elective hands_on stuff, pick your vocation. I want to be a welder! Beautiful. Even has culinary school, where I was recently introduced to a wonderful staff and a wonderful lunch. We are talking about a wonderful jumping-off place for children going out into the world. No laborious history classes.
Screw Trump!!!
@AverageJoe1 saidCan you please detail the horror that Biden left behind? And in the billions that you claim illegals cost, what was their value to your economy in terms of underpaid farm and service work they provided?
Every president spends more than the last president, that is normal process. The way of money, the way of investment, spend more to make more, and then consider the horror which Biden left, which you disingenuously pretend never happened, the billions that the illegal aliens cost us.

@kmax87 saidWith all due respect, there are many links listings such matters. But I would ask you if you are soft on crime? You have begged this question from me, …if Biden had not opened the borders and allow these millions to come into our country with all of the news of immigrants killing and raping, do you think we would be better off had he not opened the border?
Can you please detail the horror that Biden left behind? And in the billions that you claim illegals cost, what was their value to your economy in terms of underpaid farm and service work they provided?
At this very moment, being Tuesday, they are meeting about trying to stop the horrible crimes being committed every day, and yet you liberals do not want our military, as provided by the constitution, to step in and quell them so that we can protect the citizens.
You are what we call soft on crime . We are people who would shoot one of them on site. So we all have very distinct differences.
@Mott-The-Hoople saidI have felt that way for a long time, long before Trump. He has nothing to do with it
What tariffs and by who? Why all of a sudden do tariffs suck?
@kmax87 saidHow can you turn blind eye to the daily terror. He is right, it would not be happening if Biden were not soft on crime. Are you? Was Biden, soaking up sun at the beach just like Obama? Have you ever noticed what Trump does every day? At this very moment he is giving a speech trying to explain all this. Instead of reading me, why don’t you listen to one of his speeches?
Can you please detail the horror that Biden left behind? And in the billions that you claim illegals cost, what was their value to your economy in terms of underpaid farm and service work they provided?
@kmax87 saidI don’t’ ‘claim’ things, I report things. What illegals cost?!?! Try this, which is JUST Medicare. One of these cretins kicked my granny out of Medicare line this morning.

All lib arguments fall flat, based on nothing.
@AverageJoe1 saidWell, he’s made a deal with netenyahoo, about Palestine, without inviting the Palestinians to the table.
Please don’t go SHouse on us, make it factual , readable, brevity, to the point.
That I do not agree with, for obvious reasons.
He’s installed yes men, without the adequate experience in major positions.
Sometimes you just need experts, and not morons.
He’s sent troops into US cities, without governor consent.
I can’t agree with this, because it is an escalation which should be avoided at all costs.
Actually… the list is so bloody long, I’m going to say: FVCK YOU. I CAN’T BE ARSED!
And head off to eat my mussels in tomato and saffron, with a nice glass of Champagne.
Enjoy yer evening!
@shavixmir saidHa, first, you have the audacity as a Dutchman of a less-than-real-stand-alone existence, to question the way this quite successful negotiator negotiates??? They called his purchase of all his NYC properties to be poor deals; made him rich!! He will do same with Israel. He seldom fails. Maybe casinos!!! Wow.

Your moron comment? Moronic!
He can send troops anywhere he wants to, esp to protect my town. . How does a Dutch guy handle incursions, etc? Jesus. “Should be avoided?!?!?” Weenie talk.
And then you stop before naming What Trump Has Done That You Dont Agree With”.
I am off to get barbecue, Brunswick stew and beer. Mine is better.🥘
@AverageJoe1 saidDid you ask what I don’t agree with, or did you just want to vent your uneducated opinion about international politics?

@MickeyD saidThere are no "riots" in Portland.
I am glad you are following the honest question theme. They are easier to answer for sure..
Like. is it a good idea to use law enforcement to put down riots? Riots are amuck in Portland, I think we are not being told about it on liberal media. Should we usse law enforcement to put down riots?
The right is making sh-- up.
Again.
@AverageJoe1 saidFFS, stop lying.
