Honestly, some of you act as though we have no giveaway programs right now. We do indeed. But what extreme liberals want - free health care!...free food for all!.....free college! - just isn't affordable. No way. No how.[/quote]

EXTREME LIBERALS. Do they drink Mountain Dew or something? Your points about food stamps, Medicaid, and Pell grants weren't bad, but then you undermined them with these straw men.

We're the richest country in the world. Our overall GDP is quite a bit more than any other country. We're in the top ten GDP per capita. We should basically be able to afford anything other countries manage to swing.  [/quote]
And did you see the liberal response to my points? "We want middle income people to get the freebies, too!"

Problem is, someone else will have to pay for it. And with you all arguing that middle income people, let's say up to $100k, should for free food and college rituals. you're folding in at least 80% of all families. You think the top 20% (where DCUM sits, at a minimum) should pay for the food and college educations of all 80% of Americans? Can't be done. There isn't enough money in the top 20%.

Plus, we already pay for K-12 for all. We pay for community college for low-income students. We give free breakfasts and lunches to low-income. Along with food stamps. We provide medical care. We subsidize housing costs.

Yet basically what I heard from that liberal was "it's not fair that poor people get everything.....I'm middle class and I want others to provide for me too." You know what Thatcher said about OPM.....sooner or later, you run out.[/quote]
