Hillary's State Dept. Is Going To Try Using Food As A Diplomatic Tool

Wow, you are one angry individual! Maybe my suggestions are hitting a litle too close to home? Maybe?

Back to the issue, where does my suggestion for training differ from yours? And where did I suggest any of this would be required? Until you can answer that maturely your insults simply have a ring of lil joe-directed, low information partisanship.

Where does the money come from? Easy, resoruces being squandered today could be re-directed & put to good use rather than being used to shore up a voting bloc for liberal politicians. Imagine, 50 years ago, if we had actually begun using those billions (trillions?) of dollars as an investment in our citizens instead of creating a multi-generational dependent class? The liberals may have lost a few more elections but the people would be better off!
The difference we have here is your desire to stay addicted to the gov't despite the damage it does to your fellow citizens while I see a viable way to start breaking the cycle.

 

Your myopic view certainly thinks so, most likely because that was your goal. That doesn't make it any more true than your belief that YOU can solve the poverty issue in America. I suggest you tackle the teen pregnancy issue now, because you surely have the solution to people wanting to have sex.

 

Wanna know how many times you've wrote this? In this thread alone your Hypocrtiticalness has done so repeatedly.

 

WOW, you are SLOW! It's about time you understood that!

 

Hey, Little-One (David), how are you going to tackle that lazy-homeless-people situation? National Guard? Maybe you'd want to reinstate those old programs for such poverty-stricken people...you know, *snip*snip* "No kids for you!"

 

Teen pregnancy is but one more sympton of the overall disease, can't you grasp that concept? What was that you said about myopic thinking?

 

Dunno, how many times have I wrote this?

 

Please articulate the difference as best you can....

 

Hahahah! I just about fell over when I read that! From someone who has an IQ "Less Than" one, I expect him to be anything BUT articulate (and he hasn't disappointed).

LOL....If I was YOU, I'd be demanding you show me where I said that...but, in part, you are correct.

But, tell me more of this "disease". I'm assuming you mean in respect to poverty. Tell me, how do you treat this disease. Is it curable?

Something I want you to understand is that when I say you have a meager grasp of the poverty situation, that you're myopic, that doesn't mean you are an idiot overall...it's just a coincidence. That said, I'm sure you know your way around a bank!

 

Well, uh, isn't this what we've been discussing these past few days?
a) There are a lot of people out there today who do not possess the coping skills necessary to manage their own lives much less the lives of the next generation.
b) This has become a multi-generational problem & the cycle of poverty has to be broken.
c) Treating the symptoms does not cure the disease. Name any situation imaginable then think back down the line to what could have been done differently to prevent this situation from presenting itself now.
You mentioned teen pregnancy so let's run with that one...in your world, a teen gets pregnant so you would advocate either tax payers killing the baby or supporting the mother & baby in perptetuity. Correct? What does that do for everyone involved? Now, look back. Could some form of life skills have helped the teen be more responsible? To make better judgements? Could her homelife be a contributing factor? I'll say it again, being proactive accomplished way more than being reactive.

 

It isn't that difficult to find out for yourself, little-one. All you have to do is sit at your computer and search the thread, something your retired 45-year-old body should be good at.

 

Nope. The woman makes the decision, not me, but if I had the opportunity to talk at length with her I'd advocate for the unborn baby, but carefully.

As for supporting the woman and her newborn, I'm assuming your banker background is focused purely on the financial aspects of that support. For one thing, family is the woman's best supporter, but not everyone has family they can rely on for support. Some people don't have family to support them.

Think in terms of if it was your child here, and it may help you understand. You are financially very stable (from what you said in the past here) and can support both the child and the grandchild, but what if, for whatever reason, your daughter was alone, with absolutely no family support (including the wealth you've accumulated, in this scenario you never accumulated it)? Think of your daughter alone with a baby, the hospital harassing her to pay the bill, but she doesn't have a cent to her name. She can't buy food. She lives in a shelter. The only assets she has is what she carries with her everywhere, her clothes, her baby's necessities. Now, tell me how a lesson in financial management improves her situation, when she has nothing to manage.

 

People in poverty have coping skills in abundance. But I'll excuse that, for now, since you probably meant financial management skills. Again, you can only financially manage assets you possess.

 

Poverty has always existed, and likely always will, as long as free will exists.

 

Treatment is essential because the disease isn't curable. Does that mean we should withdraw financial support for them? What would the results be? An increase in crime for one. An increase in deaths is certain as well, and not just those in poverty.

Don't get me wrong here (again!), I don't want people in poverty either, and agree with assistance programs that work, but the reality is that poverty will be here for a long long time, if not always.

 

Are you sayin that in order to eliminate poverty we have to eliminate free will?

 

So now povertys a matter of free will?
I predict a quick call from lil joe moen

 

But you don't know that for sure, do you? The liberals in power want you to believe that, they especially want the poor to believe that. I don't believe it.
As serious a matter as poverty is, is there any reason not to try a different approach? Obviously throwing money at it only feeds it.

 

Get over the material aspect of things for a moment and focus more on the raising of the next generation. Let's begin to break the cycle by putting an emphasis on raising the kids right, teaching them to act responsibly, carry on a conversation, read a book!
