this thread topic is a lie.

Those reductions have opened up a tough line of attack from Democrats, even after nonpartisan budget officials confirmed that the measure would have no effect on the health program for kids.

proof that while the pro-forced-birth crowd weeps for fetuses, they care nothing for the children who are already here.

save the fetus/screw the child

Get rid of chip. Or get rid of Obamacare. Two programs that does the same. Waste.

Next question please.
The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is having a wonderful impact on the world, but it's not enough. Reliance on the charitable whims of the more fortunate is never going to be enough to ensure a standard of living that would actually allow people to take care of themselves from that point onward. People can't attempt to start a business running a street food stand when they're too occupied trying to nurse their relatives disabled with treatable conditions and illnesses.

There are so many laws that are enforced "at gunpoint". Given that we can't likely eliminate them all at once, why not first focus your ire on the laws that don't actually benefit anybody?

1. Maybe if people can keep more of their own money, they will be more generous.

2. Guns are used to enforce laws not to rob people of their legally earned assets.

So to you it's more moral to let people die from lack of money to pay for needed medical care. Also why should hospital ER's treat people without money or insurance? Subsidizing them for free can only run up your medical bills.

You support Trump and his tax plan. So you can complain about people not paying taxes.
