Define it? Sure, you're a 24 year old single mother with four kids under the age of 5. You dropped out of high school, none of the kids fathers pay child support and you don't work either. Please do not tell me that is a stereotype. I work with Medicaid recipients in Philly. It's the norm. That's putting yourself into poverty by making bad choices.

Richest Nation On Earth Can't Afford Tiny Program To Feed Poor Kids, Congressman Says | ThinkProgress

It's only 12 billion over 10 years. I'm sure the fool against this is perfectly ok with military spending increasing. Wait, I forgot, he's ok with 89.8 billion over 10 years for federal crop insurance..

There are many republicans that are VERY generous with their donations to those in need. I'm sure many are more generous than many Democrats. So, don't let the fact that a politician opposes some new government program influence your views of all Republicans.

And so you would cut her off from SNAP.

I suggest a different career.

Why are you being obtuse? I've stated repeatedly she should be provided food.
 
Re: Richest Nation On Earth Can’t Afford Tiny Program To Feed Poor Kids... [W:288]

One thing is certain, you stop feeding them, you will have fewer poor.

Consider this analogy; do you give a homeless person money to possibly waste on drugs or alcohol or do you give home some food to eat, or clothing or hygiene products?

Yer still shying away from "DEFINING" who you are going to cut from SNAP, those in poverty who, according to you, put themselves their.

I noticed you conveniently left out the quotes where I said they shouldn't be given choices when they repeatedly make poor ones. You need food? You'll provide you with food. Sorry we won't give you money to blow on chips and soda.

It is sad, first you can't remember that the argument was $50/week for 4 person household, now you equate the act of not providing food, the intentional act of death by starvation.....with birth rate.

Keep on "not arguing" with me, because yer image just gets worse and worse....and I'm good with that.

No, your argument was not about food choice, it was about cutting off certain numbers of those in poverty from SNAP, it was more sharply defined as those not feeding their kids, you understood. Now yer shifting the argument from cutting off SNAP to restricting food choice.....but AGAIN..I already established food choice is improved by those on SNAP. If you want to wiggle away from DEFINING who else is getting cut, so be it.

Best Answer: If it is an agricultural society, then more children mean more workers, which translates to more money. Whereas in industrial countries, more children means less money.

More children can mean more support for parents in their old age.

In tribal communities, more children can mean more political power, as the children grow to adulthood.

usually when someone tries to establish a difference, they actually state what the difference is, not the similarities.

for instance,

I can remember that in the argument I had with wrongview, he thought that he could create 84 meals for $50, whereas you claimed it was 21 meals.

Then you claimed I was "babbling" when I reminded of your error.

that is is difference between us
