republicans propose LARGE assistance program cuts.
    #28297275 - 04/27/23 07:31 AM (8 months, 27 days ago)

ronald reagan increased welfare spending.

ronald reagan.


the republican budget proposal proposes cuts to social security, snap, and other programs but once again fail to want to cut any tax incentives for yachts and other luxury items for the wealthy.

im a non-partisan player in poltics. essntially an anarchist i believe in liberty, guns, and personal responcibility. i dont like government of any size and prefer proxy voting to elected representatives, and the ability to opt out of social programs that im not interested in funding... i see these processes as being more reasonable than force and coersion via threat of jail if you dont contribute.

however. the republicans make it very hard to get behind them on almost any issue these days, as they arent fiscally responsible, they dont seem to be for small or limited government in ANY areas other than oversight(the one part of government that makes any sense). and they arent for a lack of social programs at all, its just that all the social programs they like are for wall st, banks, wealthy people, etc. those people who arent fortunate... FUCK EM.

i loved rick flair (WHOOOOOOOO) he was such a great heel... its fun to cheer for the bad guy in a fight sometimes. but seriously... WTF. the best nation in the world has the most amenities, the best roads, the best school, the best parks the best history the best museums. the best STUFF. if you went to your friends house and he said he had the best house in the country... and there were no places to sit and the air quality was shit, the walls werent painted the kitchen was empty.... but it had the best security most cameras and guns.... you´d be like... bro you need some cooler shit.

thats where we are at.... this country has gone to shit, they keep cutting social spending and wondering why theres more homeless people shitting on their front lawn.

we need a common sense party instead of these idiots we have in washington.

the democrats arent much better, but atleast they arent laughing with glee at the prospect of children going hungry because they cut snap, and raised the depreciation tax credits for yachts.

My city keeps increasing social spending, homeless/drug addict support, harm reduction,  and the city has got worse. Ironically social spending enables/attracts the lowest of people and makes your city worse

I guess you never knew anyone growing up that it helped them survive.  Your blanket statement is just opinion and based on antidotal evidenced you are experiencing and not on data of fact?  Might be your city is not doing enough.  Not every program works out like it is supposed to but it takes more then feeling to figure out what parts are working and which or not.

there are some problems that cities dont even really try to fix and i never got that, california spends alot of money on homeless but the programs dont seem like they are designed correctly.

but the answer isnt to say 'since they did it wrong, lets not do it at all' the answer is to get involved and make it better. giving incentives for rich people to buy luxury items and taking away food from children is moving in the wrong direction. free school breakfast and lunch...snap, etc... those programs shouldnt EVER get defunded.

Shit even Lauren boehbert admits that social assistance programs got her family through tough times when she was young...she then backtracked and acted like it actually hurt her in some way. But she admitted how much it helped first.

That's why I like a form of UBI. You get assisenrence from the gov and waste it on street walkers and blow, and are still homeless/ fucked....thats your fault...compared to others that spend that to get a leg up. No more blame game....its the gov not doing enough!.....the gov doesn't work!

The fact is Milton Friedman approved of a negative income tax, so this isn't  a far left idea.

thats one of the best speaches you will ever hear on the floor.

for a number of reasons, but calling out the republicans on their long history of of reckless behavior is something people have needed to do for a long time.

Thie thing with cities, and especially crime and such, is that it's all about how those things feel.

The fact is, most cities are significantly safer, healthier, wealthier, and generally better off than rural areas.

But most conservatives feel that this is not true.

Rural Arkansas , out in the woods is the sketchiest place I ever walked around .  I was really worried I would be shot on site because someone thought I was trespassing .
  It's probably all in my head though . I'm in Sau Paulo , Brazil right now and walking around in this last nite didn't bother me at all , felt totally comfortable .

Yes, and the most violent cities in the country are generally safer than the sleepy rural community an hour away.

Do you have a source for that? I have seen the opposite when it comes tonplaces like the Southside of Chicago and the like.

Chicago also has an unusually high crime rate because of all the gun trafficking from Indiana.

Especially since the Southside is basically on the border.

I think St Louis is the only major city more consistently violent than Chicago, but St. Louis also has next to no gun regulations to that is to be expected.

There is also A study from 2016 that shows a slight majority of violent crimes is rural areas go unreported.

I actually appreciate this from the Republicans, it's the same old shit. They can howl about whatever culture war bullshit they want, they can blather on about the economy, but when it really comes down to it- their platform is: Give tax breaks to the rich, everyone else can get fucked. If you have a net worth of less than a million dollars, you might as well not be a citizen to these fucking ghouls.

Someone told me West Virginia is kidnapping capital of the country. I'm not sure how true it is, but I grew up in the sticks in upstate NY and people get their houses broken into left and right. An old lady from on the area was beaten bloody tied to a chair while someone robbed her store. Lots of fucked up shit. So I don't really buy into the whole "cities are so much less safe" bit...sounds like someone with an agenda trying to scare people.

Usually just bad statistics. Somewhat recently, I had a scenario at my buddy's apartment complex, where some couple was arguing in a parking lot, dude got pissed, grabbed his gun out of his truck, and just mag dumped into the side of the apartment building. Then the dude and the lady just quietly got into his truck and drove away.

We were sitting there smoking weed watching this happen from several floors up.

Anyway, this apartment complex has more residents than the average rural community in the US. Some random dude blasting away at a brick wall in a town with a population of 500 is gonna spike their violent crime rate to the top of the charts for the next decade.

Exactly. For some reason we've gotten to the point where it's ok for politicians to denigrate cities and their citizens (mainly from the right), but you will never hear politicians denigrating rural cities/towns/peoples. For some reason that's taboo.

Speak for yourself, I denigrate the yokels all the time. Used to just be Texas full of steers and queers, now it's every county with a population fewer than 100k.
