"You Just Want to Slap The #### Outta Some People" -
This is one of the talking points that Republicans lean on when they just simply don't care to learn. You assume that any tax dollar spent under a liberal goes towards unemployment and "welfare queens". That's not how it works. How about increased funding towards education? Free lunches for students? Public infrastructure that makes it easier for folks to GET to their jobs and work?Originally posted by ShockerFever View Post"Say it slowly and savor it..."

We throw more dollars at education than any other country in the world, for a sub-standard education. Poor kids already get free meals (not just lunch, and not just during the school year)Originally posted by wsushockerdude View PostComment

Can anybody comment on the video? Particularly the last part where the French have itemized pay stubs showing where each tax dollar is going? Wouldn't that be nice in the States?Originally posted by C0|dB|00ded View Post
I watched this old film once by the Lib Michael Moore "Where Do We Invade Next" (I KNOW HSSSSSS! HSSSSSS! HSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!)
There was a part in it I found interesting. Just located the clip on Youtube.
Tell me what you think.
First off: The entire free world has the luxury of resting inside the blanket of our military superiority. This is something they don't have to budget for. By like I mentioned elsewhere, we do have advantages being the world's police and having our currency as the world's reserve (which may go hand in hand).
But the itemization of tax receipts.......

Kneejerk reaction to this video is that it's REALLY cool. However, using my adult brain, I immediately recognize that it likely isn't real.Originally posted by WstateU View Post
I mean... the second you make a threat like this the Taliban leader will move his family. Strategically it would be around 3rd grade level bravado. That being said, just the hutzpah of it in the face of the terrorists is appealing to watch.
America doesn't normally tell the enemy how or when they are gonna get hit. That kind of defeats the entire purpose of the military exercise.Comment

Increasing education funding has been a COLOSSAL failure. The increased money is pouring into a corrupt Department of Education with no tangible positive results. The problem isn't money.Originally posted by wsushockerdude View Post

22 million of them receive free or reduced price school lunches

8 million students live in homes below the poverty line.
This is some of what taxes should be going to, but instead we nickle and dime our tax dollars with things like anthropogenic global warming and Diversity, Equity, Inclusion distractions. Roads, border fences, bridge repairs, etc. ... conservatives believe in investing in those things. e.g. Trump proposed a $1.5T infrastructure bill compared with Biden's $1.2T bill -- similar desire.Originally posted by wsushockerdude View PostLast edited by Kung Wu; 3 weeks ago.Kung Wu say, man who read woman like book, prefer braille!Comment

I don't assume that at all. First the biggest part of the money goes to the government infrastructure to run their programs, funding facilities, employees, and their 20 yr retirement programs. Next biggest part is overpaying for the goods and service, in order to get kickbacks to their political party and sometimes personal kickbacks. The rest goes to the actual cause.Originally posted by wsushockerdude View Post
Have you ever seen a well run government program that uses the money wisely?
Dems like these government run giveaways because they can dip their hands into the funding. Whereas Republicans try to create opportunities for the poor so that they can support themselves.
Open your eyes man. Biden, Clinton's and Obama enriched their families while "serving the public" ( which is laughable, because they serve themselves first). Bushes and Trump created their wealth in the private sectors.Comment

Here's the traditional Democrat attack ad that describes what you're saying about Republicans (there used to be Democrats too who didn't like to spend trillions of tax dollars). What is it that we need to learn?Originally posted by wsushockerdude View Post
Here's the result of doing what Kamala wants to spend on, and this isn't talking about the 24% inflation that Biden-Harris have caused through spending and printing money to pay for the spending.. This is going to become even more damaging if not held in check soon. There won't be any money left.
Do you notice how fast the 35 Trillion dollars goes up?Last edited by Shockm; 3 weeks ago.Comment

The DNC convention had zero substance. They promised unity four years ago and just made things MUCH worse. They just do everything they can to avoid scrutiny
with their promise of "hope and change". Hope is not policy.Comment

These numbers, along with the dollars spent per student, do not get enough coverage.Originally posted by Kung Wu View Post
Saying it's a colossal failure isn't even fair. It's so much worse.
Are there some good teachers out there in public education? Of course there are. But they are the minority and they are in no way, shape or form indicative of the massive failure of our children in the public school system for decades. It's basically been a money grab, fraught with corruption, that has ignored the needs of our children. The department of Education doesn't needs adjustments, it needs complete dismantling. How could things get any worse?Comment

You slam Tucker Carson or whatever his name is, then post stuff from Michael Moore as if it's intriguing. Nobody is going to bite on that, but nice try.Originally posted by C0|dB|00ded View PostKung Wu say, man who read woman like book, prefer braille!Comment

Education dollars should follow the students/families. Do that and the best educational alternatives will prevail and poor schools will eventually disappear as poor teachers are weeded out along with the corrupt teachers unionComment
