Everyone working in their own self interest mutually benefits society.
Thereās over 200 years of economic data showing that thereās no better way of improving the lives of ordinary people than self-interested private actors freely exchanging ideas and goods and services.
Whenever a government coerces people to āhelpā society, it doesnāt help the masses in poverty and individual rights are suppressed. Thereās only 200 years of empirical data that supports it.
No society has EVER pulled people out of poverty by instituting top down government spending.
So, me me me isnāt just MAGA, itās called basic economics.
Iām all for sharing the wealth and everyone thats hard working (or those that really canāt) should be comfortable, but the lower/middle class shouldnāt feel as poor as the ones that dont pull their own weight, and a lot of times thatās what happens.
The amount of funding ICE will get is staggering. Through September 20209, the ICE budget will be $170 BILLION.
This makes ICE by far the largest federal law enforcement agency, and gives them immense resources to right the course of the Biden migrant catastrophe.
Able-bodied individuals without dependents 19-64 are required to work (or volunteer) 80 hours per month.
Also, critics say most able-bodied Medicaid recipients are already working. So if that is the case, this new law will focus on the fraudsters.
I donāt doubt the pool of bums this targets is fairly small. That doesnāt mean we should ignore it. You stomp on cockroaches, not let them scurry into the shadows!
This is awesome. Now we will have 10ās of thousands of unwanted children of urban types that will make America great or something. Or it will lead to shitloads of more crime and people on the government dole. Though we can feel good about saving babies who cares they will become future criminals.
Nothing in the bill prevents private funding of abortion clinics.
All it would take is one thousand wealthy liberals donating $1M each to Planned Parenthood to fill the gap.
One of the best things about ripping PP off of the federal teet like this is that it inspires and encourages a lot of private activism and donations.
You will see a McKenzie Bezos type donating $10M+ to PP, and others following that lead. PP will end up within ballpark of what they lost, but it wonāt be done with tax dollars.
