OMG. Just when you thought Corey Booker couldn't be MORE stupid, there he is, breaking his own record. I worked summers to earn my college money and I was a work-study student while going to college. My parents worked like dogs to put food on the table and buy a house. NO GOVERNMENT ENTITY HELPED THEM. Why on earth should lower-income kids get $50,000 handed to them on a silver platter? What's to stop them from spending it on drugs, booze, fancy threads, a stainless steel grill on their teeth, a hot whip, and so on? Not everyone knows how to spend money wisely. Maybe there's a reason their parents are "lower-income". Maybe their parents cut class instead of learning how to read, write, and calculate well, the better to equip themselves to earn a decent living.

This is just SUCH a totally ridiculous idea, that I had to take a drink of water to stop sputtering and choking when I heard this first on the radio and then found it on Vox. Corey Booker, you are a first-rate dummocrap a@@.

With the right connections, the 50k could be quadrupled in a month or less.

Booker wants to teaching children not Toledo. He doesn’t want them to feel the pride of earning something.

“Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) is introducing a bill aimed at closing that gap.”

What an interesting way to avoid saying “steal”.

Why not give them money? It’s the quickest way to destroy a person’s dignity, spirit and drive. Tell them they can’t make it without being given a pittance from the govt. to subsidize them.

It’s ridiculous and the exact wrong msg to send to people. That’s why I’m totally not surprised that it’s coming from a liberal, know-nothing democrat like Retardicus.

FORCED, MARXIST-INSPIRED WEALTH REDISTRIBUTION. It is either a control mechanism, keeping black people in subjection (slavery) to the government—in which the government will bureaucratically waste the money into oblivion and then demand more . . . or give the money directly to people who will waste it themselves, because they didn’t earn it.

The present education system does not teach ANYTHING about smart money management, as was the case BEFORE Jimmy Cahtuh’s Federal Indoctrination Department came into existence.

Give a hood kid that kind of money, and they will be dead in a week from an overdose!!
Or they will pay somebody to get rid of a local nuisance, forever.

Tune in to Laura Ingraham right now, she’s about to do a segment on Cory Booker allegedly sexually assaulting a gay man in a bathroom.

"His idea is to give lower-income kids a sizable nest egg (nearly $50,000 in some cases) that they could use for wealth-building purchases, like a down payment on a house or college tuition."
FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument

Not only does Sen. Booker evidently not understand that the Founding States gave the express constitutional authority to originate appropriations bills uniquely to the House of Representatives(1.7.1), but consider the following.

Sen. Booker also doesn’t seem to understand that the states uniquely have the 10th Amendment-protected power to tax and spend for kids, depending on the threshold of pain of a given state’s taxpayers.

More specifically, since the states have never expressly constitutionally delegated to the feds the specific power to tax and spend for the purpose of giving kids nest egg accounts, what post-17th Amendment ratification Sen. Booker is wrongly wanting to do is to pay for these Democratic vote-winning kid’s accounts with stolen state revenues, such revenues stolen by means of unconstitutional federal taxes.

"Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States."—Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.


In fact, until patriots support Pres. Trump in stopping Congress from stealing state revenues, the states probably couldn't support kids this way even if they wanted to.

The remedy for constitutionally low-information senators like Booker ...

Patriots now need to exercise their voting muscle to not only fire career federal lawmakers left over from the lawless Obama Administration, replacing them with patriot lawmakers who will not only vote to kill unconstitutional appropriations bills like the one that Sen. Booker is proposing, but who will also support Trump’s vision for MAGA.

Some people are good with money and others will blow every penny.

You give the exact same amount to everyone and in a few years there will be no equality.

Those good with money and responsible will make money and those not, will be broke.

Yes, I will give poor kids money...I’ll give them money in exchange for something called labor. Matter of fact, Mrs Deplorable and ConservaTeen will do the same thing...except the money will be going to poor or RICH kids...unlike Dems, we don’t DISCRIMINATE!! THANKS

The boy needs to turn over every penny he has to the “po kids”. Preferably those in the country illegally.

Booker notes that his own parents, who are African American, essentially had to pose as a white couple to purchase a house in a predominantly white neighborhood in 1969. They had a white couple put in the offer on the house, but Booker’s parents then showed up to the closing.

Does anyone think this is not BS? I’d like to see how he someone makes an offer on a house with earnest money and credit information for another couple. Could he be full of sh#t?

“I think we’ve been through a period where too many people have been given to understand that if they have a problem, it’s the government’s job to cope with it.

‘I have a problem, I’ll get a grant.’
‘I’m homeless, the government must house me.’

They’re casting their problem on society. And, you know, there is no such thing as society. There are individual men and women, and there are families. And no government can do anything except through people, and people must look to themselves first.

It’s our duty to look after ourselves and then, also to look after our neighbor. People have got the entitlements too much in mind, without the obligations.

There’s no such thing as entitlement, unless SOMEONE has first met an obligation”

Booker is delusional. My kids had no "nest egg" before or after they left college. Now he wants to send his agents to take the money that I didn't give to my own kids and give it to a bunch of ghetto kids. In more reasonable times these agents would have been met with armed resistance.
