Cannot believe how poorly informed you are on this issue, what does federal tax dollars going to DC have to do with federal expense dollars coming back? You are exactly what the left wants and needs for their power. Stop buying this BS, tax dollars going to DC have nothing to do with federal dollars going back to the states for FEDERAL EXPENSES AND MANDATES!!! You have no clue what dollars go back to the states and don't seem interested in finding out. Do you believe the state taxpayers should pay for federal expenses like military bases? Or how about SS and Medicare benefits? How about federal employees in the states? Please stop buying this liberal argument
LOL, nice try, but you might consider educating yourself.

WOW! The average red state get’s 5% more than their residents ‘contributed’.
 
WTF are you talking about? Poverty has nothing to do with partisanship. Cuba has nothing to do with US federal tax codes.

SNAP is a federal program.

How much more incentive do fulltime workers need?
Why should SNAP be Federal? So your solution? Massive Fed Government? What do stated do?

Cuba has everything to do with what you seem to want. I have been there and seen how people live
 
LOL, nice try, but you might consider educating yourself.

Why don't you find out what those federal tax dollars fund? Are there blue supporters in those red states. You are like most liberals poorly informed with no idea what the role is for the governments you have and never respond to the content of the response to yoy

Really? You're unaware that SNAP actually IS a federal program?? Seriously? Do you know what the USDA is?

I know what it is, do you ever answer direct questions, why should it be? State and local costs seem to escape you

LOL--then why did you call it "my" solution? It's reality.
 
I asked for your solution
To what? This is your post:

The federal government is already doing this.

It sounds like you're looking for a solution when I'm not. I like that my government feeds hungry children in my country. You don't?

Stop trolling I ask WHY IS THIS FEDERAL

you don't seem to understand the governments you have. Poverty is a local issue just like cost of living
 
What is a fair share
Too few answer choices. Ask the democrats what fair share is. They never, ever, can tell you what it is because to them it's however much they want today, tomorrow and every future day.
We need a graduated tax, or do away with federal tax and pay an increased sales tax on everything. At that point the wealthy who buy more things pay more. Otherwise just cut the deductions out of the tax brackets, the more you make the fewer deductions. It's just not that hard but our politicians are protecting themselves and their wealthy donors, all the while complaining as they do nothing but spend out money and put us more and more into debt and smile while they do it.

You seriously can't follow this conversation, can you? Why would you accuse me of advocating for the expansion of massive government to include SNAP benefits--if you understood that it was already a federal program?
At this point, it doesn't really matter. I'll tell you why it has to be federal--

Because children are citizens of the UNITED states and one cannot discriminate food security to only those who vote one way or another. :)

Kind of like we have federal protections so states can't make up their own version of society based on mob mentality.
 
What is a fair share
He hasn't saved the economy. He's added more to the debt than any President, he's got us at 5% inflation after inheriting 1.5% and he embellishes job creation as "new jobs" when they almost all are simply people who were laid off, or chose to quit because of Covid scares (mostly created by democrats), who have finally returned to the jobs they left. That isn't new jobs nor job creation. The guy lies, the democrats and the left press ignore it. I expect it from the democrats, but the left wing press simply refuses to do it's job fairly, honestly and professionally!

OMG, you are the one with the problem Federal programs can be eliminated so why not this one? I suggest yoy pay attention to you post before hitting enter

They are also citizens of a state and city. There is no federal cost of living
Cost of living affects poverty thus no federal solution

So Democracy is only effective when it provides what you want? Move if you don't like your state or work to change your government which is a democracy

Because we like it. And we're gonna keep it. Get real mad about it.

What is a fair share
It's really pretty simple. Just have the government collect all the money, spend what they believe they need to spend, divide the remainder by the number of people and allow the people to have their "fair share"....then tax that at 50%.
 
Climate change problems will probably seem like 'human problems' first, long before there are mass die-offs due to heat. But keep in mind, climate change isn't the only problem or even *the* problem; it's "overshoot". The destruction of habitat, the acidification of the oceans, algal blooms that make freshwater toxic, the rapid collapse of animal species...these are all part of the same massive problem. Before we see the worst of it, scarcity will probably trigger civil and global war. That is unless we can somehow all be scared collectively, not only as a nation, but as an international order, into acting. The past 30 years or so haven't been encouraging. We've had Montreal, Kyoto, and Paris, and GHGs and global mean temps rise sharply. There is no ****ing way we're going to keep global mean temps under the 1.5C target and we'll be super lucky if we can keep it within 3C by 2050-60. We're headed for major upheaval.



It's not manufactured. Shit, the MSM hardly talks about it in the kinds of substantive terms that are needed.
It's largely manufactured. When the left only hints at it, you know it's bs. There are so many alternatives to the massive amounts of wasted money on the Paris Accords and those "solutions" aren't doing crap. The U.S. is footing the bill, we have upped our game substantially (much of it harmful to the economy and jobs) and the biggest offenders are not doing a damn thing. Even John Kerry slipped up and admitt
ted nothing we do can make a difference at this point because China, Russia, India aren't doing crap, but we buy wind and solar materials by the billions of $$$$ from China. They laugh every day.
Lies like climate change causing deaths from these horrific storms, when the truth is the deaths have dropped enormously in the past 100+ years because of technology in construction and sea walls and the like. Do you think folks like the Obama's bought at Martha's vineyard if they were going to be under water soon? Hell no.
If you have the desire to get both sides of the story, go purchase Micheal Schellenbergers', Apocalypse Never! He talks about real issues, real solutions, the real level of threat and the obvious bullshit.
 
What he said:
Yep, that is what happens with liberals get someone else to pay for personal responsibility issues. Big government liberals never see any consequences from a big central government
 
Roll back tax rates to Before Reagan. That is where it really started.

Trickle down worked great for those it was designed to benefit. 90% of Americans got screwed. Not to mention our federal debt has ballooned since.

Tax cuts for the rich and borrow the money to pay for it.
 
There are so many alternatives to the massive amounts of wasted money on the Paris Accords and those "solutions" aren't doing crap.

On this point, we agree. And that's because the leaders who organize and attend this conferences either don't know there's a problem with the climate, or they know on some level that there is but they don't really understand its true extent and don't want to understand its true extent if it means fundamentally re-writing what we know about economics and politics.

Remember, boys and girls: economics isn't hard science. It explains some human behaviors, but that's it. The pseudoscience of economics is running into the hard sciences of physics and biology, and I predict that in the not-too-distant future, there's going to be a reckoning.
