When you help elect socialists to both the White House and give them a majority in Congress, given that every years since 1994, the socialists have intro'd legislation to roll back welfare reform..um, I'm just curious: what do YOU think will happen?

Able-bodied young men (or wymyn): No, they should not. That's what I said. I did not say they CURRENTLY were. They WILL be once you help put socialists in charge, though (I was referencing pre-1994 conditions where they most assuredly did get welfare...for life, if they wanted, and many did).

Policing: I believe we SHOULD, though. And we should drug-test those on welfare. If you live in subsidized housing, it is not YOUR house, and so you should give up certain rights...there should be Projects Police who can knock on your door at 2 am and demand to see who is sleeping there. If someone is sleeping there who does not have permission, you should be put out on the street.

The "debt": Social programs outlays combined, dwarf military outlays. Have since The Great Society. I don't see that changing anytime soon, do you?

Illegals: it's both a security and a legal problem. It's less a security (national) problem than a legal one. There is not reason to permit these people to stay here. BOTH sides (it was called Bush-KENNEDY, you may recall) are treasonous in this regard and those at the top, as they have colluded with an invading enemy, should be treated as what they are: traitors. This, in my opinion, includes Bush. But it also includes MOST Dems.

Possibly...but I can't seem to find in anything I wrote that the Republican Congress is/was "socialist."

The Rs in Congress have had a SLIGHT majority for a time, as they have in the Senate...this does not mean (and I think this is where you are...confused, Kooky) that therefore, EVERYONE in Congress is a Republican.

I agree the illegal problem is nothing short of treason on the part of our government .


However let me point out to you Tokie , your idea of drug testing everybody could easily be fixed if we just legalized drugs . It would save a lot of tax payer money to end all those trials and keeping people in jail for weed. And if they insist on taking something like crack , Take their kids from them and hey manufacture it pure and let them kill themselves on it if they want. They have the right . And the world will not suffer for the loss of them.

Let me point out that your idea of policing the government housing would cause a big expansion to our government and add literally thousands of government employees to do that at tax payer expense. Everything costs Tokie and there is a lot of government housing. And we need it as people who are making $10 a hour at Walmart cannot afford the rent in say Chicago. So we make deals with people who build apartments to let them live cheaper and it works for everybody , including the tax payer. .


I'd personally rather spend that money on rounding up the illegals and sending them home and closing our borders.

Again, we agree. I have no problem with legalizing drugs. I would still enjoin welfare recipients from use, however, and cause them to be regularly tested, or their welfare taken away.

Has the NY Transit Authority police caused a "big expansion?" Actually, back in the 60s and 70s, I believe the the feds had cops who did this. Why would this be a "huge expansion"? There are far fewer of these places and far fewer people living in them than at any time before.

Section 8 housing is another issue. I would not have these cops patrolling every Section 8 unit in a city. I said "projects." The cost would more than be made up for by the people pitched off the rolls.

The real issue here is not cost, but inertia inside the agencies that deal with this. There's no impetus to get more and more poeple off these rolls, because that would just mean fewer and fewer welfare workers needed on the job and less and less fuding going to the agencies.

Once again we agree tokie

There is a difference between section 8 and projects .

I would agree that the projects for the good of the ones that live there should be jerked up and some order restored .

Besides if they could not just do as they please in the projects , maybe they would get out .

As someone without employer provided healthcare, even with me paying the cost, and as someone without government healthcare, I would love to see the government remove all the subsidies for employer healthcare and pretty much force corporations to drop their group plans. In fact, I think the government should prohibit group healthcare policies force everyone to go to individual plans.

That is the fastest way to single payer healthcare as advocated by Dennis Kucinich.


This approach is designed to FORCE the government to enact a single-payer (socialized) medical system. The "single-payer" being well..you and me as working people, through ever more onerous taxation.

I thought that as a libertarian, you opposed such taxation?

Tokie
It shows the truth coming out that Government is never the solution. But always, always the problem. I think if most Americans read between the lines they can find the truth in Dennis Kucinich.
