They are the ones who will have to pay it all back also. So even if you have seen a little it will be taken back.
Thats not economics, that's cronyism and corruption - Chicago-style. I wonder where (or whom) that comes from.!!!!?????

Oh, I do not disagree but Obama is not the only only to play this card. It started under Bush this time. McCain would not have done anything differently. He voted for it.

the training and help is available to you...............

if you want it.....but you have proven you dont want to help yourself..you would rather complain on the internet

Tried this before, but I just tried it again online...what I want to do leads to schools, which demand cash up front, which is my obstacle.

kinda like football where we have rules that encourage the competition we would like to see. In other words a "market system." So called free markets allow people to profit by defending up hill, rolling rocks down upon them and perhaps adding hot water to their laundry to shrink uniforms.

It would also be nice if 7 points did not inflate to 10 or deflate to 4.

Now suppose a rich team from NYC buys up from goal to the 10 yard line? Then the Titans would be flagged for trespassing trying to score. The problem is any great athlete on the Titans would be cheated and the Giants could and would become fat, lazy slugs. I think I would change the channel.

I'm not sure what your point is.... Educated and more affluent have greater access and knowledge about birth control. It's not like one goup is having more sex. Seems you are just looking for excuses to promotoe your idiot notion that all people on govt benefits have no drive or ambition to improve themselves. That's retarded.

Directly or indirectly? I sure do benefit indirectly that the stimulus helped Texas keep more of its teachers and the like employed. I benefit from the roads that were shovel ready at the time... Now they are shiny and new. I can keep going... But none of it directly resulted in money in my pocket.

No, they do not. The educated and more affluent don't get contraceptives for free via Medicaid, the schools, County health clinics, etc., like those who receive public assistance do.

Yet even with those free contraceptives, they are having kids 3 times as much according to you. Perhaps it's all about access and education like I mentioned.

No, it's about... the more kids you have, the more welfare benefits you get.

This recording artist knows EXACTLY what's going on, as she describes in this public service announcement...
