GOP debate

[Crampknees]

You'd think after 7 years of Obama we'd be in better shape, poverty-wise.

Do you have any stats to back that up or are you trying out for the Hannity show?

[Crampknees]

Cons seven years later.  Sorry it wasn't armageddon and you are not in a socialist camp where your children were taken away and turned into indoctrinated coal miners but meh there is still poverty. 

[juansavage1]

Isn't it funny how were right and lefties still want to attack?

[Hollyw00d]

I've been to poor countries. My father was poor in a foreign country. We have relative poverty, but not the kind where people worry about eating and sleeping.

When some people are told these facts, they change the criteria of things like "malnourished" to mean healthy food (which is cheaper than hot cheettoes).

Also, how come millions of poor from other countries come here if they're going to experience the same thing?

Because merica is a great country and has higher standards of living than equatorial countries

[Hollyw00d]

Do words not have any meaning?

BTW - I found a resource. Thanks anyway, guys.

The vast conspiracy of the poor people to rob you of your tax dollars!!!

I'm curious, what percentage of the defense budget is 600 billion?

Do you wish to concede defeat and shift to defense spending? Edited November 7, 2015 by Juan Savage

Couple of things, first that is a false dichotomy. Second, I don't think Adam would be against a huge cut in the military. Neither would I.

No but the irony of it all is most of the take down ISIS brigade is also the cut taxes brigade.  People that don't care to understand the correlation.

[Glen]

So poverty isn't a problem because our poor don't look like the third-world poor. Do I have this right?

[Jay]

ha, I riled up the libs!

More people on food stamps than ever!

Did you even read the article?

Because it really makes you look like a jackass

[nate]

Lol!

 

And another great Republican ideology.  **** spending $127 million helping make sure American kids don't starve, but lets spend billions a month fighting some Arabs half way around the world!

"Don't look like"?

That is just dumb.

Not in the context of this discussion. The two people making the argument are not in favor of the military budget in any way whatsoever.

I gotta tip my cap at your cognitive dissonance.

There are so many bullshit lies in that article. Some people can really delude themselves

[Adam]

I was multi tasking. I was attracted to the bibliography at the bottom.

I'll freely admit that I've done nothing more than post a bunch of rhetoric in here.

The third world laughs at our poor, however.

[Hollyw00d]

Yeah, and I'm sure crickets taste better than horseshit but you're not about to try them and find out.

[juansavage1]

Whether you think it's a problem or not is another discussion. Before anybody decides,they need facts.

no I didn't read it, I posted it for the graph, not for the opinion.

[Hollyw00d]

There's not much opinion in that article. Just a lot of facts.

Its about statistics, after all. What's actually going on in the world

[Hollyw00d]

House

Clothing

Food

School

Transportation

Poverty

'Murican Math is awesome

Explain to me where housing, transportation are being given away

[Hollyw00d]

Or clothing for that matter? Who's gonna hire someone who can't shower regularly or shows up to an interview in clothes someone donated? Or dirty clothing? Goodwill isn't free
