Right, it is a distribution program. Nobody (especially nobody on this kind of forum) thinks that wealth can magically appear. It is paid for by VAT and cutting existing entitlements … 1000 is not the only level it will work with, but obviously there are limits you can't say "well lets make it 10 million a month", limits are set by assumed VAT revenue as well as assumed revenue from reduced entitlement spending. So yes, it would work with 1001 and 1002 as well. |

No, we are against it because it cannot work. In no universe can the numbers work. It is the same as a company giving its employees $10 a day as a raise but charging $12 to rent their required uniforms. Wealth cannot appear out of nowhere. Not to mention that it will take 5 years at most before some welfare program is proposed. Same as the 1986 tax cuts promised a low rate in return for no deductions. The low rate lasted just 4 years before it was raised and 3 more before it was raised again. We are not the suckers that they think we are. War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength |

This is kind of where I am. I see collapse no matter what. The inner city has been torn apart with crack, the countryside with meth, and now the suburbs with heroin. Time to get rid of victimless crimes. I'd say make staying clean a requirement to get any kind of assistance from the government and for sure make federal workers subject to random drug tests at all pay grades. But decriminalize. Chips fall where they may. War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength |

Shrek Member since: Aug 13, 2019 Threads: 10 Posts: 1822 | Sadly, I have to agree. America had a good run for 230+ years. The libbies of the 60's and 70's may not have gotten everything they wanted, but they soon infiltrated the university system and brainwashed all of the millennials. Now can get anything they want, and the country is screwed. 😢 |

Great societies have a life cycle, the USA is near an end. I see the breakup of the USA as a unified country before 2076. IMHO civil wars are inevitable in large societies. Fertility rate in the USA is now below replacement level, probably to stay. I see it going even lower over the next 2 decades. Collapse comes around that. War is peace. Freedom is slavery.

It's sad. The British couldn't defeat us, the Nazis couldn't defeat us, nor could ISIS defeat us. Liberals are succeeding where those groups failed. |

Go and make sure you understand what Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is and then come back and tell me how you can give that away. As a starting point the current total federal budget is 21% of GDP. "but if you make yourselves sheep, the wolves will eat you." Benjamin Franklin |
