Just Phil User ID: 65562978 United States 05/22/2017 06:27 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | [link to thehill.com] Quoting: Loops Seems like a bit much, never used either in my life before but thought it seemed like quite a bit. Should just crack down on the idiots buying all the junk food imo. Thoughts? Actually, "junk food" is the cheapest calories in the grocery store. $1.00 can buy 1100 junk food calories, but $1.00 can only buy 200 calories of fresh fruit and vegetables. ^^^^this right here is what i keep telling people - they just dont get it. I can go wherever and buy a dollar loaf of french bread and feel full for like 2 or 3 hours until its time for the next meal vs. buying 1 dollars worth of fruit and vegetables ( which doesnt exist btw) and practically starve until its time to eat again. Do you realize how stupid you sound? Just because your belly is full off of that white bread that doesn't mean you're nourished. You're actually starving. Consuming less of the fruits and veggies (even if you don't feel thanksgiving full) is serving a better meal to your body. Furthermore, grow a garden and you won't have to purchase the veggies and the fruits. They have these fancy newfangled as hell things called "hybrids" that are specifically for growing in containers. So even if you only have a balcony you can grow produce. What other excuses do you have? Actually you sound just as stupid as the guy you called stupid if you want to know the truth. Not everyone can just whip up a garden you know, even with those things you call "hybrids". |

Arguments that this money is going to be spent on something else are not valid without proof that the money is actually going somewhere else. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 71016757 Not only does welfare make life harder for workers, it also discourages the people who can make ends meet on welfare from working and encourages welfare fraud of the welfare baby variety. BS My taxes have never gone down so the money is being reshuffled to the wealthy and Satans killing machines |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 74912301 United States 05/22/2017 06:31 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The difficult truth about IQ and the ability to earn a living wage. IQ is an important facet but not the only one. The truth is if a person has just an IQ of 85 they can do OK for themselves provided they are tenacious enough to persevere. Even with military testing to be a soldier at the most basic level of training you need an IQ of 83. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 69947748 Now, pointing this out you have to realize the average IQ of a a typical black person in the USA is 85. That is average and does not include the outliers, because clearly there are many black people that do have high IQ and puts many other Americans to shame. So looking at a bell curve with that being bulk ot the average, you need to realize that one half of the average, falls quickly to an IQ below 70. So My guess is that roughly 25% of black people will have a very difficult job holding down any sort of gainful employment in which they can support themselves. That does not mean they are not hard worker, but probably have a much harder time keeping their attention focused on anyone task too long and not being able to process information fast enough means they are sorely limited. It is not this faction of the black populations fault. They are by IQ standards , disabled. So it is best to yes, help these people out so they don't fall prey to criminal intentions and built in safety nets for them, and yes , their kids too. It is just the moral thing to do. That does not mean they should get a free ride all the way ,but that they do participate to the best of their ability. Okay, then take your money and use it to make their lives better. But get your hand out of my pocket. Your taxes will not decrease dumb ass It will be given to someone elze |

You dont want to starve get a Job, you want healthcare get a Job, that simple. My 17 year old,15 year old got a Job, and my 16 year old. The 17 year is starting college and will continue to work. There are jobs out there, if people want them. It is not about jobs so much , but gainful employment that has included with it the medical and SSI benefits. Many lower end jobs do not include these benefits. Not everyone has a high IQ and the tenaciousness to work a steady 8 hour job. We have many US citizens that need that extra help and are encourage just to hold down a job to get those benefits. We also extend these benefits to their children, because there is a certain segment of the US population that will never be even middle income earners and we don't want their children to suffer so much for their parents lack in ability. |

I observed...that the more public provisions were made for the poor, the less they provided for themselves, and of course became poorer. And, on the contrary, the less was done for them, the more they did for themselves, and became richer. Benjamin Franklin |

Our own fight for the West does not begin on the battlefield — it begins with our minds, our wills, and our souls... Americans, Poles, and the nations of Europe value individual freedom and sovereignty. We must work together to counter forces, whether they come from inside or out, from the South or the East, that threaten over time to undermine these values and to erase the bonds of culture, faith and tradition that make us who we are. I am here today not just to visit an old ally, but to hold it up as an example for others who seek freedom and who wish to summon the courage and the will to defend our civilization." ~President Donald J Trump "...sometimes, you have to be a high-riding bitch to survive.
