so then what did we do wrong to cause the ice age?
or maybe i should be asking what we did to cause the earth to warm up from it? i dont have much of a stance one way or the other im just questioning it all |

To the tune of something like $280 billion - by the EU and IMF. Legal terms of the bailout: 1 out of 5 government employees must be fired. Federal minimum wage must be decreased by 20%. Someone in either the EU or IMF is a ------- genious... Slash government employment AND minimum wage, why didn't WE think of that? Oh, nevermind. We're too damn retarded to accept a lower wage represented by a lower number. Holy ----, i've got it! - the quicker our money is inflated, the lower our real wages become. If only we could do it without increasing minimum wage!! Greenspan, start printin' them dollar bills!! |

That's a bit over $6/day. Do tell how someone is buying caviar on $6/day worth of food, Brainy. |
It's $200 and you have to make less than $14,000, or $1,180 a month. :)
So you eat lots of McDonalds and Crab Legs and don't save one penny. Coincidentially, $200 a month is just a little less than my food budget for the month...and that's a 2 person household + 2 cats. There's nothing you can say to me to convince me that food stamps is a good idea. not one thing, not all the strawmen in the world. |

BTW, I'm completely unimpressed. If someone is making under $1200/month, I could care less if they get $200 in food stamps they can only spend on food. I'll grant you there are better theoretical uses for the money, but it's federal gov't dollars we're talking about. At least food stamps go to real citizens instead of a war effort, or (even worse) another country. Oh yes, I went there. I said it's better to give our poor food stamps then give foreign aid to another country. |
I mean, that's a tough choice: Encouraging disincentivation through Robin Hood like robbery (insert joke about slavery) or feeding the MIC.

Hell, cut all corporate welfare while you're at it. Wait, did I just imply that we spend more on foreign countries and corporate welfare than on welfare for our citizens? Oh yes, yes I did. WHATCHA GONNA DO BOUT THAT, BRAINY?!? |

https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1329927286 Did you know the cost of washing clothes has increased something like several thousand percent since 1913? I mean, it used to be practically free for women to spend all day on the shores of a creek or sitting around a big tub of water, running the clothes over washboards, then leaving them out to dry on clothes lines. Damn inflation ruining our lives! The end of America is coming and interest rates are going to skyrocket!

That reminds me of that angry report from Fox News that had the commentators frothing over the poor having refrigerators, Scrappy. I lol'd at it hard.

Honestly, at least food stamps contribute substantially to the local economy where they are used, Brainy.
I mean, I have much bigger targets than citizen welfare. It doesn't bother me nearly as much because food stamps, as an example, run us less than foreign aid as an example - and due to helping local economies, I'd argue it is at least partially paid back. Unlike foreign aid. I'm not on board with them, but they really don't bother me as much as foreign aid, corporate welfare, or what have you. |

I spend roughly $40 a week on groceries. and try to spend about $5 a night on dinner between the two of us. And just because you get $6 a day in food stamps, doesn't mean that's all you spend on food. Not to mention the Welfare and SSI that might also be collected. Here I'll just bash you all: https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1329928722 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1329928722 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1329928722 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1329928722 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1329928722 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1329928722 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1329928722 Now look at this: https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1329928722 and then read this: http://www.myfoxboston.com/dpp/news/...5-apx-20110629 |
