Yesterday,the House voted for the 700 million dollar cut in the welfare stamp program, while voting down a plan to withdraw troops from Iraq 400 to 3. It is time for yet another American Revolution :x
The US Poor Get Screwed Again

ccasion8: :violent1:In my eyes, their new world order is a place where those born very rich get to become very, very rich doing whatever the hell they please, taking advantage of the perpetual state of war, while the poor get to choose between starving to death with their family, or volunteering to become cannon fodder.
You know, like how it says things should be in the Bible?

I fully agree with the welfare cuts. In many areas of the US, there should be no excuse for able bodied persons to collect welfare. Where I'm living, many businesses have "now hiring" signs and billboards posted everywhere. These available jobs range in everything from customer service reps., receptionists, store managers, cooks, certified mechanics, hair stylists, police officers ...etc. I've also seen many signs plastered all over in regards to jobs available for non-experienced persons such as delivery, fast food work, Wal Mart, department store/super market work.
With all these unfilled jobs, what valid reason would there be for an able bodied person to collect welfare?
You would!Nascar_James said:
You are certainly trying to live up to your Avatar, Jimbo.
The American Bald Eagle, eats carrion, never attacks anything as large as itself, and is rapidly becoming extinct.
How appropriate!
I know, Jimbo, but the posters here have already seen how faulty your thinking is. :wink:Nascar_James said:

The bald eagle eats fish, smaller birds and rodents to my knowledge. It has been off the endangered species list since 2000. There are over 100,000 of them in North America, half of which are in Alaska, I think.
You're in the mood of mocking a countrys national symbol, I'll refrain from responding in kind.
I think Canada, a country that was opened up by young European men searching for beaver, has a hilarious icon. :lol:I think not said:
England has a lion and it's not even an indigenous animal. Chosen to celebrate how many times they were invaded, I suppose. :?
National icons are mostly a joke. If you take them too seriously, you will become one, too.
Not a thing #juan, I just think that celebrating the pastime on our money is rather out of character.#juan said:
There is nothing more convulsing than a numismatist offering to show you his five-cent beaver. 8O

Hey I Think Not, hope you're back on this forum. You're one of the few left of centers who's actually a moderate here. A refreshing change from the radical left that reflects many of the postings on this forum.
As a moderate right of center myself, I know all too well how pitiful (and sometimes comical) it can be to hear the extremists viewpoints.
Nascar_James said:
Left of center and moderate eh? :lol: Well thanks. Last time I was here, I was called a ne-ocon.
Nascar_James said:
I thought you were a neo-con also :lol: 8O

Nope. You're clearly not a radical or right of center, ITN. If we base our viewpoints on a US political scale, then we are both moderates. You'd fall just left of center. I'd be right of center.
However, if we were to use a non-calibrated Canadian political scale (which has the center mark offset way to the left), then you'd be a moderate right of center and I'd be an extreme right wing radical.
What scares the hell outta me is I keep hearing the term neo-con so often, that I might actaully start believing it. The power of suggestion is not to be underestimated.
Great stuff, ITN and Jimbo!
Haven’t seen such a smooth, "After you, Alphonse — No, you first, my dear Gaston!" routine in a dog’s age. :lol:

House OKs budget bill cutting $50 billion in aid
Medicaid, food stamps, student loans take a hit
Washington -- House Republicans, after weeks of negotiations, narrowly passed a budget bill early Friday to cut $50 billion from Medicaid, food stamps, student loans and other programs over the complaints of Democrats that Congress is squeezing students, the elderly and the poor to pay for tax cuts for the rich.
Typical right wing government. Beat up the poor.
