Not only that, but if we're being efficient, men can impregnate multiple women almost daily. Women can only produce two children a year. So if we're going down the road of forced government sterilization, let's do men.

There needs to be a safety net but it shouldn’t be a way of life. I think Republicans and Democrats mostly agree.

And we all know who's most likely to collect those welfare benefits:

Cites both the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs (syracuse.edu) and NPR as sources:
Are Welfare Recipients Mostly Republican? Or Democrat?

And delving a little deeper into demographics (political party affiliation, race, etc.) by examining Food Stamp usage:
Pew Research: The Demographics and Politics of Food Stamp Recipients

What are they going to do when we run out of OPM (other people's money) to redistribute? Serious question.

But diversity without assimilation is the best thing ever - look at the Balkans. Unless it is diversity of thought.

Agreed !!!


I find it interesting that those most interested in a honest conversation and accurate assessment are those with a conservative mindset. We don't have to redefine words or use other deceptive tactics to do it.

In 1999 gen Xers were raising young children. Today millennials are raising young children. The difference between these two generations is showcased in this statistic.

This is what happens when you set poverty standards to a national average and the rural, low cost of living areas will have more people qualify than the higher paying but higher cost urban areas.
