Some of these make sense, except they’re nothing new and liberal politicians have been doing this stuff for a long time... they don’t know how to effectively administer programs such as these. Now, we have criminals walking around with dozens of arrests on their rap sheets and they have no fear that anything serious will ever happen to them if they continue down a path of crime.

His padded cell is missing him.
Already been done, and it doesn’t work. We are where we are today because people have done the same stuff they outlined. It doesn’t work.
Go after the violent criminals. Lock them up and no early releases. Don’t plea bargain out the armed felon charges (like they always do) on violent offenders. Shoot the bastards if they resist arrest and save us all time and money.

It was a below-the-belt bellow. :)
Given that the observation came from a teacher and what happened in scott walker’s state it seems very appropriate.
Indubitably!
Yeah, no generalization there. Believe it or not, not ALL teachers fall under the breadth of your brush stroke...
‘...job training and a real jobs program for areas with high levels of violence, unemployment and poverty.’
Yeah, that’s right - people break the law, so throw more, more, MORE taxpayer money at ‘em.
exceptions that prove the rule.
All good things but it all comes down to one basic fact of life.
If you don’t work you don’t eat
If unmarried mothers were homeless and watched their children starving because they had no fathers to provide for their children unwed mothers would soon become a rarity.
The only reason that single mothers are a growing phenomenon is because Aid to Dependent Children (or whatever it is called today) is available.
Government redistribution of wealth is destroying the family and by extension our society.
