Wall is just .05% of the budget - & Universal Childcare?

[_Kevin Graham]

Do those same people talking about how wall funding represents such a tiny fraction of the wall say the same thing about food stamps?

Of course not.

And can't wait to see how they respond to Elizabeth Warren's genius move on universal childcare.

At $70 billion/year, Warren’s universal child care program would cost roughly what Congress added casually to the Pentagon budget with no debate or even rationale.

I'll wait for the official roll out of this. This type of initiative always seems to set my teeth on edge. I'll get over it and comment eventually when I see it in writing without the political hype.

If the wall goes up, there are that many fewer people collecting food stamps and free childcare. Sounds like a net savings for the taxpayer to me.

You certainly help people understand how frauds can manipulate people so easily to get your money and loyalty.

They don't collect good stamps, but your redneck family does. I guess you mean your defective gene pool can't work hard enough and compete so they end up on welfare. We already know for a fact illegal immigration provides a net benefit to the country.

A fact that pisses you off and drives your white supremacist hate.

The cited article notes that the cost will more likely be $700 billion/year, but don't let the details of your own citation bog you down - rather be concerned with this detail:
"Only providers that meet federal safety, staffing and curriculum standards could qualify for the funding. "

We can forgo any discussion about personal liberty and how children in need already "are covered"....but why do you think Warren's stupid mimicking of Obama's stupidity is going to help anything? Having "more insurance" doesn't bring down healthcare costs..the market responds accordingly. What are cost implications for the above cited "regulations"? - exactly, you don't know.

Ask yourself not how can have more insurance?, but rather ask why is so much insurance necessary?...unless you own stocks in insurance company, then disregard.

It says $700 billion over ten years. Meaning, $70 billion/year.

"...will likely require approximately $700 billion in new federal spending over 10 years."

This is called math.

700/10 = 70

Damn you're stupid. And you're supposed to be an architect?

Having more insurance absolutely lowers health care costs because people with insurance have preventive measures taken before illnesses become more serious and more expensive. It is almost like you're here waving a flag that says, "Look at me, I'm a moron."

Keep fighting the good fight shill, because nothing says Republicans care about children more than vehemently protesting anything that actually helps children.

I, for one, would never hire an architect as poor at math as subby seems to be. I doubt, though, that he is really that poor at math. It is more likely that his remarks are deliberately directed at an audience that he hopes really is that poor at math in the hope of successfully deceiving them.

This is one of the many threads where subgenius disappears never to return after proving his stupidity in spectacular fashion. I mean, $700 billion. Really? That's more than what we spend on military.

Yes, I've seen a lot of threads from subby like that. He never learns, nor does he ever admit to any embarrassment or acknowledgement of having been mistaken, and always eventually comes back with some other post that demonstrates again how ill-considered and misinformed he actually is. He does, occasionally, come up with some profound remarks I approve of, for which I have actually complimented him. Overall, though, he seems to be a textbook example of both Dunning-Kruger effect and backfire effect.
