Amen.


168 hours in a week, if 40 hours of pay doesn't fit your lifestyle, get another couple jobs.

In fact, I think we need Establishment Clause 2 establishing Separation of State and Commerce.

There should be no credit card debt. Credit card debt is another example of MAKING BAD CHOICES. And by the way, taking care of business, independently and autonomously like an adult, and paying your rent and bills without vampiring off your fellow citizens is THE HIGHEST CLASS OF PERSON. I want more people like that. And yes, they are in a HIGHER CLASS than people who have babies out of wedlock, abuse substances, sit on their a$$es, and wait for Pocahantas to BUY THEIR VOTES with endless handouts that bankrupt and destroy my country.

I agree.Paying back what we owe shows one's integrity. However I would also lend a hand to who are genuinely struggling.

Wonder how many goodies they are going to propose between now and election time.,

We can add universal childcare onto medicare for all and $500 prize each month to Democratic proposals.

https://www.cnbc.com/2019/02/12/kama...e-incomes.html

So far, Kamala is proposing a $500 gift a month for families and Warren is proposing universal childcare that is free for families who make less than $50,000 and no more than 7% of income for those above $50,000

They have also proposed Medicare for All but there is no viable way to pay for it, so they want people to trust them that they know what they are doing.
The only sane explanation here is that the Left goal is to sell something insanely off the charts so after negotiations it achieves more likely still a left-leaning agenda while relatively looking like a fair compromise. Much like a Dutch auction you don’t Expect to sell on the opening price but making the start price higher makes what would be still a high price seem that much reduced.

Maybe the end version of all this, for example, would be some additional low income tax credits for qualifying childcare costs, as opposed to hands down free childcare for all.
