Kaepernick Workout Produces a Tryout with the Cleveland Browns

Oh, and the Kaepernick issue and race and poverty are issues that are inextricably linked. They both have to do with the way rich white America treats the underclass.

Yeah, right. Everyone's a failure and it's all my fault.

 

You're a liar when you say you want success and happiness for everyone. You only want it for white people, and those who aren't poor or sick. You seat yourself on your moral high throne and decree who should live or die.

 

The crap you spout about people who need help is standard conservative prattle. It's your evil and mean-spiritedness tied up with a shiny bow. You pretend to be principled because it's easier to do that than to admit you have no compassion and no honor. You're a greedy old sack of white-guy-privilege shit. And, you're a freeloader who has been sucking on the government tit for decades--ever since you were born, in fact.

 

Thank God that your type is dying off.


We keep giving more free shit away, and poverty and dispare continues to grow.  Kevin feels good about this.  I don't.

Candy, it was only a matter of time until Kevin labeled you a racist.

Wehad a balanced budget in the year 2000 with food stamps and welfare.     Since that time we've added over 10 trillion to the debt - the biggest line items of which were unpaid for wars and tax cuts for the wealthiest people.

 

And in a year where fewer people than ever are getting food stamps and welfare....Republicans have blown up the annual deficit to 1 trillion/year.

 

Republican legislation and wars are responsible for the overwhelming majority of debt since we had a balanced budget in 2000.   And after promising their spending would be paid for by oil revenues in Iraq....and Mexico...and tax cuts paying for themselves they've been shown to be conmen.

 

And now they blame the mess they made on food stamps.    People familiar with easily researched data know the truth.

Pj continues to trot out this old chart from a left wing organization. It does not take into account increased revenue from economic growth. 

 

Pj also ignores Obama’s $9 trillion 8 year deficit. 

 

The he fastest growing item in federal expenditures is entitlements, which neither party has any interest in cutting.

We tax enough and spend too much.

There ya go folks...the CBO is a left wing organization.   And thats brought to you by the same guy who claims Gordon Sondland is a liberal out to get Trump.

 

Our country will be in trouble as long as half the population believes in boogeymen over easily researched data.

But thats what we have now

You should research who enacted the spending you complain about.   Because food stamps and welfare did not add 10 trillion to the debt since 2000.     Policies and spending you openly supported did.

 

have a great day.

Yeah, well, if Kevin says so...

Considering the number of times you have trotted out this chart you would have realized that the chart is from the Center on Policy & Budgeting, which is left  wing. 

 

Entitlement spending has increased an average of 9.5% per year fit the last 50 years.
