That deluge of cash solved nothing. the bootomfeeder pols and their hangers on are getting their share, however.
Still makes me laugh.

100M for the Newark Public school system.

They had to hire people to the tune of millions and millions to "figure out" where to spend it.

Cory Booker certainly had his thumb on the pulse of "his city"....now he thinks he knows what's best for the state. What an idiot.

Exclamation Democrats are cheap too give to charity.

Its well known and well documented that republicans are more generous than democrats when it comes to charity or donating to those in need. Al gore and Joe Biden have been particularly stingy when it comes to giving their rich income to those that need.

Wouldn't that solve more problems than all the bickering?
Solving the problem is the last thing they want to do....they want to see the problem get bigger so they can offer some crumbs for votes.

We already live in a pretty bitterly divisive country, where people can be pretty nasty to each other. I don't see where topics like this really add anything, except getting people going back and forth at each other.


How so? Pool your money together voluntarily and fund whatever and whom ever you want. How does that divide anybody?


What divides us is forcing people to do what you want and taking people's money to pay for your compassion at gubpoint.

So clueless these types of posts
If "liberals", whatever the hell a liberal is, want tax money to pay for a program, then liberal's tax money is going to the program. They are pooling their money and they are putting their money where their mouths are.
Did you miss the health care debate again?

No. It's your interpretation of what you think they said, that they didn't actually say.

It's been pointed out to you multiple times in the other thread.

As you, I believe said, you can fool people who aren't smart enough to understand, you may have even fooled yourself.
