When they are financially stable enough to spend the money for such.
As I said, it depends on the family, their situation, etc...
The point is, if they are buying a computer and because of such, next month they go hungry, well... that is not the right time.
Maybe they take 10 dollars a month and put it in a fund to save for a computer while taking 50 dollars and putting it to an emergency fund. Lets say that their goal is a 500 dollar emergency fund. So, 10 months they have 500 dollars for emergency, and 100 dollars for a computer. Maybe now they could take and continue 25 dollars for an emergency fund (until they reach 1000) and put 35 to a computer. in 10 months they have 750 dollars of an emergency fund and 350 dollars for a computer.
See where I am going? It all depends on their income, how much they need to save to be secure, and what they are looking to save for with a computer or non-necessity. Heck, if knowledge is so important, one can go to a second hand book store and pick up a book on some type of learning topic for less than 5 bucks which will likely keep them building knowledge while saving for a computer and insuring they have some funds if an emergency comes up.
It isn't that hard..
So now they should own a computer eventually... You've made progress I see... Good job... But I could just donate mine...
Uh... No... PC's are not all that expensive anymore... They're getting really cheap actually... It seems silly for a poor family to never get to own a computer...
Thats a want..not a need...but if they buy a computer instead of food...then that is their own fault for prioritizing wrong...
After all your useless posting and patting yourself on the back. You could have replied like this!

To answer the OP's question......the Tea Party is not a political party with a platform. It is a loose confederation of people who want Washington to clean up its fiscal house and get the country back on a sound fiscal footing again......nothing more, nothing less. I know it's hard to liberals to understand that but, really, that's what it's all about.
I dont care how I could have responded. You could have started off a thread that made more sense and then I wouldnt have had to give you real life examples as to how you were wrong.

Prove to us you actually adopted any child. I think you might be lying.
