Annoy a liberal today. Hit them with facts.
I agree. Put a 2 year maximum lifetime benefit per citizen for welfare.
Eliminate corporate welfare programs.
Eliminate farm subsidies.
They need to stop spending money we do not have.

We are the only country in the world that can print as money as we need with out any immediate major ramifications. Because the dollar is the world's currency. International trade is done in U.S. dollars.
Been so since WWII. Before that it was the British Sterling that was the world's currency.
When the world loses faith in our ability to pay our debts, or the payment of that debt is more than our annual GDP, they will switch to a different currency. My guess it will be China's, since they haven't been over spending like crazy for decades.
It is also my guess that this will happen before 2025 unless major changes are made. We must spend less than we take in. We must become more business friendly (doesn't mean labor unfriendly) to survive.
The clock is ticking and nobody is even addressing this problem in Washington DC. It's business as usual.

What a gross waste of time.......go throw the pigskin around.
Upset that facts tend to disprove your narrative?
SHHH, too much information for them to consume. (remember, blacks get all the free money bro!)
TOS.
Too bad your nuns didn't do as good a job educating you as my nuns did with me.
Everything I posted was factual, and backed up with references. Why would you call it 'drivel'? Just because the facts don't fit your narrative? Facts are pesky.

We were ahead of our counterparts in the public schools by at least 2 years. We concentrated on studies........not boys and cheerleading and sports teams and all that fluff-stuff. We were there to learn.

You couldn't have learned anything. You didn't have Common Core then.

Morelock,"Entitlement" means you are entitled to it, no matter what the reason is. We are entitled to our Social Security checks because the law that's been in effect for 80 years says we are, and no amount of propagandizing by Frank Luntz or anybody else can change that. A friend of mine turned 62 last year, signed up for SS and sent up a prayer for the soul of Franklin Roosevelt A DEMOCRAT. He has no regrets.
. Imagine if George Bush had succeeded to privatize your SS account held by Wall Street back in 2008 and you were ready to retire then. "Oops, sorry! We lost half of it! Better luck in your next life! Until then, enjoy your retirement and don't work too hard!"
