Those "Learing" Centers Owners Riding High on Tax Payer Dollars

  At least Americans know where and why the money being spent on the Iran situation is going, contrary to the billions of tax payer dollars that have disappeared due to fraud in Minnesota, California and other states for years - with no stoppage in sight. All of the other diverting expenses you bring forth here are nothing more than moronic talking points when compared to the fraud of billions of tax payer dollars by DemocRAT controlled states and cities as they steal, give to illegal aliens, and to pad their pockets.


That money you dismiss is being spent to kill people. That's the "situation " I don't want my tax dollars spent to kill Iranians.

 

You do, which is why I'm a better person than you.

Kevin, you totally misunderstand my point.  But that's OK, because I probably didn't make it sufficient to be understood.  Sort of goes along with one theory, 1) that luxury owners may be driving a used one, refurbished, previously wrecked, went for $450 at a used car lot, etc.  NNTAWWT.  

 

OTOH, I worked with parents who bragged that their college kids were able to get Food Stamps, aka SNAP. 

OK, maybe that is a qualifier, which again would be fine with me IF it is a qualifier.  So, if somebody's kid is pre-law at Harvard, does he qualify for SNAP.  Where is the line drawn?  Just thoughts.

 

Kevin, I have no idea what MAGA means, other than the wording of the acronym. 

 

Again, I'm not on either side of most arguments debated here in KS...depending on facts.  I like to explore what is behind things that people get stirred up about.  That's all.

You put "qualify" in quotation marks, which implied that you were supporting the meme of people who shouldn't qualify (because they supposedly own a fancy car) but do anyway. 

 

The criteria are personal assets, WITH EXCLUSIONS, and income, WITH EXEMPTIONS. One exclusion is a primary vehicle. One exemption is income that is being used for tuition.

 

MAGA stands for "Make America Great Again," the Trump campaign slogan from 2015 that purports that America wasn't "great" until the Fucking Orange Turd became President.

 

Again, that SNAP fraud number is fantasy, because there's no evidence that the Turd administration has done any SNAP auditing at all. And doesn't that 14,000 number seem suspiciously...round?

I put qualify in quotation marks because I stumbled on what to lable it.  Criteria might be the better word.  But people do "qualify" for things...benefits, grade levels, all sorts of things.

 

Stop conjecturing intent without clarification from me.  Thank you.

It does seem sometimes Kevin can have knee-jerk reactions to things and sometimes infers things in comments that were not stated or intended. I think he's a passionate person and sometimes it prevents him from taking the time to let comments soak in so he understands the posters intent.

OK, imagine someone using "air quotes" with their fingers when speaking a word. Then you can understand what you're saying when you write a word and put unnecessary quotation marks around it.

 

Donald Trump always speaks the truth.

Donald Trump always speaks the "truth."

 

See the distinction?

 

You have to understand context. Miller was babbling about people who "qualify" for SNAP, as in, they get the benefits but really don't qualify. The way you worded your response suggested that you agreed, which was surprising.

I took her putting "qualify" in quotation marks to mean she agreed with Miller. She often does, which is astounding.

 

My reaction was pretty much what Miller wanted, since his sole purpose for being here is to start and enjoy arguments. He succeeded this time. He must be dancing in joy.

 

So let me clarify: widespread SNAP fraud is nothing but a MAGA meme that has been used as an excuse to slash SNAP benefits overall, the need for which is due to the huge deficit caused by the tax breaks for the rich in the Big Pig Bill.

 

That's my position.
