Medicaid on anchor babies alone is probably that much. 10 million foreign women popping out a kid every couple years is how much? RIDICULOUS....and you pay for it and the kid is an American citizen from 2 foreigners. |

Should just crack down on the idiots buying all the junk food imo. Thoughts? With more than half of all babies being born on Medicaid this is great news. Make local governments pick up the tab and just watch the reigns tighten as taxpayers begin to balk at having their taxes raised to pay for irresponsible dead beat parents who refuse to pay for their birthing mania. I am sick to death of these dead beat leeches. |

Quoting: Resister Food stamp and Medicaid enrollees skyrocketed during Obama's reign. I don't know the exact figures on Medicaid, but it was massively expanded through Obamacare. Food stamps doubled under Obama because not only did his economy suck ass, but his administration specifically targeted it for expansion and heavily advertised it like a business trying to grow. Having to rely on government to eat use to be an embarrassing shame to anyone who legitimately needed that much help. Obama made it sound like a healthy natural lifestyle that everyone should participate in. This commercial is from 2012. The food stamp program doubled because they wanted it too.

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 72119498 Trump’s plans to cut food stamps could hit his supporters hardest President Trump’s anticipated cuts to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, better known as food stamps, will likely be felt most in regions of the country with chronic high rates of unemployment — from the rural Southeast to aging manufacturing towns to Indian reservations. People in those regions are temporarily exempt from national work requirements for the SNAP program, because there are not enough jobs there for everyone who wants one. But there is growing anticipation that the budget to be unveiled on Tuesday could incorporate proposals drafted by the conservative Heritage Foundation that would eliminate or curtail the unemployment-rate waivers. That means the federal government could cut off assistance to unemployed adults who live in areas where few jobs are available.

That is common knowledge. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 27649888 That's common for all news sources nowadays. Some media sources retract more than others, however. But, understanding the bias of the publisher helps one to weigh the information and find the most important parts to research to get to the truth of the matter. Basically, I am saying there are no news media companies that do not harbor a bias. There are only a handful of true, ethical, journalists. Those journalists get published time to time by these same media companies. So we must work a little harder to find the nuggets of truth. |
