Of course you would IGNORE the billions Trump and his cronies and families are siphoning off from taxpayers.

Trump gave BILLIONS to Argentina, and they have universal healthcare.

Trump gave BILLIONS to Israel for this unjustified war, not to mention the BILLIONS the US already gives Israel.

BTW, the leader of the fraud in MN is a white women, American born. But, I realize that pathetic people find it easier to blame those who are weaker than themselves for their lot. I believe the Nazis convinced most of the Germans to do just that.

First, this has ZERO to do with Trump.

These are people who do not respect our culture. Take the case of Ladan Mohamad Ali.

She is given money to bribe a jury but before she even tries to bribe them, she takes an 80,000 cut for herself. LOLOL!

These people are tribal. They care nothing about our country, let alone their state or community. They care about only the race of people they belong to or even their immediate family. It doesn't work here.

I have no sympathy for them. Just get out.

Oh how ironic that you would quote Kennedy as a MAGA.

Your ancestors were also probably tribal. The Italians sought out Italian neighborhoods, as did the Poles, etc..

People should absolutely go to to prison for committing fraud, but unlike MAGA, I don't blame an entire group of people for the actions of a few. Otherwise, we'd have to assume that MAGA are ALL violent white nationalist insurrectionists judging by the J6ers, Fuentes, et al

That's just one state. Where did that money go?

Suitcases of money being sent to Somalia every day?

ENOUGH!!!

I agree. Enough with giving Israel billions of dollars. It's a scam. Kushner committed fraud so that Israel could get this money.

This has nothing to do with Kushner or Trump.

Stop excusing it. Where is that money?

"America is just completely broken" has everything to do with Trump.

Speaking of "where's the money"... Where's the billions Trump sent overseas? How is that helping America?

YOU are the one who is being tribal. Your family came from somewhere too, dummy. How many immigrants do you actually interact with on a daily basis such that you know their feelings about this country, their state, or the people in their community? And habe you for even a moment considered that maybe immigrants are not a monolith and don't all think, feel, or behave exactly the same way?

You're angry about some fake story of missing billions and suitcases of money for Somalia. Why? It's because of scarcity. You feel like resources are scarce, and because of that, you are predisposed to be angry at people you perceive to be getting more than you.

Here's the thing though. You're being lied to. The people who are taking the resources are not the immigrants. The people taking the resources are the ones telling you to hate those people while THEY buy yet another yacht. They're the ones sending the jobs overseas, or hiring those immigrants you hate at exploitative wages under exploitative circumstances. THEY are the ones making bank while we spend $3 BILLION TAXPAYER DOLLARS A DAY on this war in Iran.

Immigrants are not the ones stealing from you. They are not the reason everything is more expensive, why wages are stagnant, and why everything is harder. They are trying to survive. No different than you. There IS enough to go around. The issue is the hoarders.

You HAVE to snap out of this. It's destroying the country. They are using your fear and your hatred to rob us all blind.

This thread shows that OP is right. 40% of Americans are so demoralizing that they are cheering for the agent of their own destruction.

I mean this kindly:
Get a grip. Read history. Look at all of the wars, famine, disease. There is nothing new under the sun. If you want to have a kid, have one. It is no worse now than 99% of human history. It is not objectively worse to have kids now than at any other time in history except maybe the 50s but would you really want to be a woman back in the 50s?

And also with the “I can’t afford kids”. Stop being brainwashed into thinking you have to have all of your financials figured out and perfect before you have a kid. Believe me, DCUM would have judged me quite harshly for having a kid when our HHI was 45k back in 2007, with no house, a crappy old car, and not being able to afford daycare. We did it anyway, and had two. Now they are in HS. I figured out my career once the kids were school aged. We were able to buy a house and sending DC1 to college next year. It hasn’t all been perfect - they didn’t do all the fancy activities, didn’t get the fancy Disney vacations or lots of expensive toys, but I would absolutely do it again, even if it meant using welfare and food stamps and living in a tiny apartment. There is really nothing else that gives life purpose as much as having kids.

I'm probably older than you, PP, and I agree with the first PP. Daycare and college costs have exploded, and wages have not kept up with those costs.

I have one DC about to graduate undergad and one about to go to college.

We have made six figures for a while, but we lived way below our means. And it was still expensive to send the kids to daycare and save for college. We don't drive expensive cars; we don't own name brand anything. My only expensive jewelry is my engagement ring, and a not that expensive necklace/earring set DH has bought me throughout our 20 years of marriage.

I don't blame women now a days for not wanting kids one bit.

It sounds like you have the same tunnel vision then, unable to see different possibilities and ways of doing things. Neither daycare nor college are/were the norm for 99% of human existence. But few people are willing to think outside of the box or go against the grain, which is also how we got here in the first place.

I stand by my point that if you want to be a parent, stop making excuses and don’t worry about doing it the “proper” way with a SFH, daycare, college, and expensive “family” car. Don’t let other people tell you what’s important. It sucks that there isn’t really a road map for this, but it’s doable.

Eh, yes and no. As a mom to two kids who lived much of my younger years in a sh*t 90 year old fixer upper with roaches and mice (thanks hoarding neighbor!), with a one percent down payment, in a crime ridden neighborhood where I learned to tell the difference between gunshots and fireworks....

This really ignores the issue of SUBSTANTIAL.wage suppression, explosion of housing costs making living on a single income plus a kid very difficult even in a one bedroom. Oh and at least I did have a college education that afforded me the ability to pull myself to a much higher income! In today's housing market, couldn't have done it again.

Growing up very poor isn’t the “oh, it will work itself out” problem that people think it is. It sets up a cascade of problems that keeps a large percentage of each generation in the same poverty area.

Very true. Quite literally one wrong decision based upon trust placed with a principal or teacher could mess up a kid's educational outcome. And this is particularly pronounced in poor and immigrant populations.

Just one quick example is a family we know whose child was placed in ESL classes even though English was their first language and their heritage language ability was poor. To add insult to injury, one of the parents had graduated hs from the same district. They had to fight for a year to get their kid in the regular curriculum and more than likely it was because the kid had a "foreign" last name. Later we found out that schools get extra funding and teachers depending on the number of ESL, FARMS, etc that are enrolled so it's in the school's interest to pack these programs.

Even if you do get out, the effects linger. My mom grew up extremely poor and had always had trouble with her teeth because she didn't have dental care as a kid. She also learned she grew up near a toxic waste dump and given half of her siblings died of cancer she wonders if it had anything to do with it.

Trump gave BILLIONS to Argentina, and they have universal healthcare.

Trump gave BILLIONS to Israel for this unjustified war, not to mention the BILLIONS the US already gives Israel.

BTW, the leader of the fraud in MN is a white women, American born. But, I realize that pathetic people find it easier to blame those who are weaker than themselves for their lot. I believe the Nazis convinced most of the Germans to do just that.

First, this has ZERO to do with Trump.

These are people who do not respect our culture. Take the case of Ladan Mohamad Ali.

She is given money to bribe a jury but before she even tries to bribe them, she takes an 80,000 cut for herself. LOLOL!

This is what Americans don't understand. It's not within their frame of reference to be able to make sense of a culture that gives not a crap about others.

It's like the Native Americans when the Pilgrims first arrived. They helped the Pilgrims. They showed them how to plant corn, how to harvest food, how to survive in the new world. Then the Pilgrims turned around and killed off the Native Americans. The Native Americans opened up their hearts to the newcomers, and the thanks they got was annihilation. Same thing is happening here. Not outright disease or genocide. Replacement, far more subtle but just as effective.

No other country in the world would or should put up with the multi culti abuse you think is AOK to visit upon us and it's all for you to feel good about yourself. AGAIN, where is the $20 BILLION?

First, please take a deep breath. I sense your rising blood pressure and don’t want you to have a heart attack.

Second, close your eyes and visualize your 3 favorite foods.

Are they the same foods your great (great, great, etc) grandparents who first immigrated to America?

Mine sure aren’t (Irish, Austrian, Ukrainian (Jewish), English)

I love tacos (Mexico), pizza (Italian), and chicken Tikka Masala (Indian). Oh and chicken mulligatawny soup is a close 4th which is already a mish mash of British and Indian cooking.

Multiculturalism offers us (past, present, and future) amazing things and possibilities. It’s what our country was built on.

If there are suspicions that millions or billion stolen by Somalians in MN they should be investigated. But there are also suspicions that Trump is stealing from our country. Does that mean we should kick everyone with Scottish ancestry out of the country?

Or if you think that example is too inflammatory, what about Senator Scott from FL whose company was convicted of billions of Medicare fraud. According to AI he’s of Scottish and English ancestry. Are all people from those countries fraudsters?

There are so many issues that it’s hard to track. Here’s another Trump policy agenda item that is going to cost us money:

One study found that ending fluoride in water could cost Medicaid $40 billion over three years to cover the costs of the extra cavities in kids

I don't know about the previous poster, but I'm big into Native foods. I make an exception for Mexican food, it is actually pretty close to the native foods. Go read, "Sioux Chef".

He has a pretty good explanation of how foreigners destroyed the Native food supplies. I live with foreigners. They really like their food, but they don't realize Americans really don't do mono-staple food(rice or wheat). They really don't understand how diverse American cuisine is, beans, corn, potatoes, rice, wheat, sweet potato, and more.

American's practically invented food. Immigrants they come here, "Let's have tikka masala". Well, where did those peppers and tomatoes come from? Let's have Thai, where did those peanuts come from...

Let's give America a little credit on food here. Many of these foreign cultures have operated in famine or near famine conditions at near maximum population densities for a long time. This is not auspicious for good cuisine.

Yes, foreigners come here, they bought out whole foods changed the motto sourced locally and globally, raised the prices on bulk and staple items, converted all the supply chains.

Now they want to tell us our food isn't good.
