Yes, you can end child poverty if you print a lot of money and give it to people who don’t work (and have no motivation to work as long as the government cheese keeps arriving in their bank accounts). The question is, what country can afford to support it’s citizens? Government produces nothing (except worthless fiat currency, which it is printing at unprecedented volume). A country must begin with the premise that its citizens want to take care of themselves. That is the only way it can actually afford to take care of those who truly cannot care for themselves.

The question should be, "How can the left be so convinced that what they are doing is right?" There are a few reasons.
First, Democrats live inside a bubble of misinformation created by the leftist media. News that might convince them that they have been lied to is carefully excised. Many or most of them still don't know that Russiagate was a hoax fabricated by the Clintons, and that Rachel Maddow et al. were lying, and lying, and lying, night after night, year after year.
Second, they are intellectually dishonest. They can't be bothered to seek out different opinions, and a different set of facts, that are only a few mouse clicks away. When they hear that Trump's Charlottesville news conference proved that he was a white supremacist, they don't take a few seconds to read or listen to the news conference. They'll take Joe Biden's word for what Trump said.
Third, leftist cancel culture has frightened Democrats who are not full-on deranged partisans. Much safer to pretend to heartily support the agenda that to point out the obvious: the agenda is barking mad.
You seem to be taking a fair amount of flak in this thread, but I think your questions are not just legitimate, but important.
You witness the accelerating death of the United States of America and you ask a question like that?
Excuse me. Remember the election results of this past Tuesday? There’s what people think.
The Dems have always been good at spin.
Just think about this, if the stupid party didn’t have thirteen traitors to join the dems then they couldn’t claim it was “bipartisan”. So the real blame lies with the “Stupid party” that elects leadership that are whimps.
As long as current leadership is in charge the same results will continue and the dems know this which is why they are so confident.
Lying liars lie.
You didn’t know that?
Liberalism is a mental disorder.
That’s why.
Our country is under the judgment of God.
9/11 was the first warning, and since then, God has been giving us warning after warning and drawing a line in the sand, forcing us to choose sides. Then redrawing it over and over.
The election of President Trump, I believe, was our last chance to make things right in this country, and it didn’t happen.
So, just like the Jewish nation coming under judgment and finally into the Babylonian captivity, I think we are now on a set course with the end times.
The things God allowed to happen to Israel, as warnings and opportunities for the nation of Israel to repent and turn back to Him are the same sorts of things happening to us today. We have corrupt, immoral leadership which is turning its back on God and implementing evil policies. Sexual perversion continues unabated. Abortion is still happening, We are being invaded by the enemies of this land, and the economy is on the verge of collapsing.
Someone on this forum some time ago said that things are not falling apart, but falling into place. I think that the judgment has already started and while it’s not the Great Tribulation yet, I can’t believe it’s not coming.
Some generation must be the one that sees the end. It can’t go on forever, and even if things turned around, it would only delay the inevitable.
We need to pray that God would continue to restrain evil, protect His people, and bring as many into His kingdom as possible. And we need to pray for the strength to face what’s coming in a manner worthy of those who bear the name of Christ.
Probably because everything the left does or advocates either goes against anything good or moral as defined in the Bible, or it results in the destruction of our culture and society as a whole.
It results in greater crime, restrictions on our freedoms, a weaker military, and broken families.
Playing into Obama’s hands

As this election cycle continues and as the protests get louder, more violent I am left wondering if these events and events to come play into a larger, more evil plan.
I can’t help but think that at some point in the near future there will be a terrible event, an attack or attacks on the very fabric and heart of America and that these events will lead to an Obama dictatorship.
I know it sounds a little crazy but I’m sure that there were many folks in pre-war Germany who felt exactly the same way, it could never happen here...could it?
You called it five years ago. Too bad you’re playing into it now.

about the whole $110B for ‘infrastructure’ and then look for some other FR posts that break down the rest of the bil
They ARE doing the right thing. For themselves. And their buddies.
