FDR was in favor of self-funded schemes, unlike Hillary.
We certainly shouldn’t be adding to the number of handouts since the current ones are draining society.
A woman with a baby could put her baby in a crib at a customer’s house while cleaning the house at say $13/hour.
Two women with kids could pair up and share say a 7-day job and a place to live, three/four days one week for one and four/three days a week for the other. While one works the other could mind their kids.
As usual another great post
I did mention it, however belated
It seems like the only thing conservative with a lot of conservatives is the title of “conservative”
“The invaders now come not with guns in arms but with children in arms and they head straight towards the welfare offices.”
You have that right.
That is especially around election time.
Bump. And you have to give them credit, they keep moving the ball down the field.
Substitute “Republicans” for “conservatives” and the writer might have a point.
Steve Deace? Please ....
Yep. There is a fundamental disconnect with laboring to preserve a legacy of high-handed lawlessness in governance while (occasionally) also somehow trying to slow its growth.
Just as compromise with evil is still evil so too is compromise with so-called “progressivism” still progressivism.
Going along to get along is a poor way to lead a life, a treacherous way to run a government.
Consumption taxes and tariffs are the way to go. Kill the income tax.
rolling over for your 'opposition' on everythingto be a bad strategy, and in fact, most would become suspicious that they were
throwing the gameif it happened two or three times… how many times has the Republican party betrayed its core constituents?
Isn't 80% a rather low-ball figure considering the size and scope of the current federal government?
If people knew how little the national government actually spent under FDR compared to today they wouldn’t believe it.
It was “big spending” only in comparison to the even smaller levels of spending that was typical before his administration.
We weren’t the dominant free world military power that we have been since WWII. Being an Army brat I have some appreciation for why it’s wise for us to play that role, but we have a lot of free riders who benefit from our protection and who ‘repay’ us by taking chunks out of our economy. Trump has a valid point when he says that these countries should be paying up.
Thx for pointing that out.
It would pay to go back and read the debates over switching the tax system back then. I’m pretty sure that it was an outgrowth of the same movement that was behind William Jennings Bryan- the perception was that taxes were falling disproportionately on farmers and lower wage earners than they expected an income tax to do.
And the income tax may not have been that onerous until the start of WWII and the brilliant idea of withholding taxes from paychecks... an insight that came out of the retail industry of the time.
They don't have a plan, they have a willingness to fight, and to keep fighting for their next latest goofball "cause" they are always coming up with.
They are stubborn and intractable, while we are reasonable and compromising.
There has been a term that has recently come to my attention. It is "Cuckservative." (derived from "cuckold". Look it up if you don't know what it means.) It basically means people who are conservative that simply let other people walk over them. They are weenie, pathetic beta males who simply say "oh dear" every time the liberals make another inroad.
Liberals win because they fight, often unethically, but they don't care just so long as they win.
We try to play by the rules and as a result we get our @$$es handed to us.
They don't have a plan, they have willpower. We have a plan, but we have little to no willpower.
You’re welcome
Agreed. My gut says it’s a low-ball figure. I usually say 80%+. I haven’t figured out exactly what % of the $4 trillion feds is actually unconstitutional but I know that most of the cabinet departments/bureaucracies and ALL of the regulatory/administrative agencies/bureaucracies are unconstitutional and needs to be abolished. Cutting 80% would take them down to around $800 billion. I could live with that for a start.
Your post reminds me of the Not Yours to Give
(Davy Crockett & Farmer Bruce) story.
