It is physically impossible for a woman to be pregnant for her entire life.
If the state in which you reside decides to provide additional benefits that is the choice of the people of that state - it does not alter the Federal rules on the Federal program known as TANF. If those same children moved to another state that was not so generous they’d be instantly cut off.
Then take it up with your state government - don’t assume that everywhere else is exactly like California.
You get retirement simply by living long enough, and you get it even if you are ABLE to continue working but choose not to - something you continually accuse the poor of doing (true or not).
Disability is not something you automatically get (you have to PROVE disability) and only a minority of people ever receive, and the money the disabled receive is provided by money paid in by other people, a fact you seem unable to grasp.
First of all, it DOES take more than one day to pass a constitutional amendment because, after passing Congress, it must be ratified by 3/4 of the states, or did you somehow forget that? Or never knew it in the first place? Until it’s ratified it’s not in effect.
Second, I think a BBA is a bad idea because it ties the hands of government in the event of a national emergency. I don’t think we should have unbalanced budgets normally, but once in a while borrowing makes a hell of a lot of sense. The problem isn’t borrowing or debt, it’s that it hasn’t been properly managed.
Third, there is NOTHING stopping Congress from submitting and passing balanced budgets NOW - so why don’t they? And if they are, for some reason, incapable, how is passing a BBA going to change things?
For an example - look at a state like Illinois, which has a BBA, and is in total financial mess right now. A BBA doesn’t solve the underlying problem of fiscal mis-management, it’s just a feel good measure to appease the electorate before the politicians go back to screwing things up.
Oh, is August 14 a weekend or something? I didn’t check. Do it the Friday before then. If the libtards in the state legislatures try to take Friday off, we can call them on it.
Just curious: what is the process by which a state approves an amendment for ratification? Is it normally done by referendum / plebiscite or are all fifty State Legislatures empowered to signal approval on their own?
Apparently the Duggar woman is trying, but yes she cannot be pregnant her entire life unless she dies young. However, it isn’t necessary that the female adult in a household have all the children. You really don’t know how these things work, do you?
Since you are now completely off subject, this looks like you are backpedaling.
I never did. You brought up the laws of places I don’t pay taxes to, not me.
You should really study what you have done here and see how it is an example of how you build this fictional life for me (and then despise it). Somehow, from my saying “the dole”, you decided this had to mean only federal money, and only a few programs. Then you moved to trying to “prove” your point by quoting information from a state other than the one I pay taxes to. All the while ignoring every time I point out where you are wrong.
Here are the actual facts - I resent having to pay quite a bit of tax to support people who have little or no interest in doing so themselves. (Due to cultural differences, this is a bigger problem in California than many or most other states.) Why do you think the fed cut TANF to just five years? Because there were a significant number of people who chose to live their lives on welfare, and even with the new rules, there are still people who figure out how to game the system.
OTOH, I have no problem with people on unemployment, retirement, or anyone on any program they are trying to get off of. Shit happens and at times people need a leg up, but that is all it is supposed to be. On yet a third hand, that doesn’t mean that people who live at or beyond their means should be allowed to use these programs as their go to fall back plan, as many seemed to do when the bottom fell out of the housing bubble.
:rolleyes: Ok, I’m not going to take up any more time now to respond to your back pedaling and attempts to move the goalposts.
Am I to infer you didn’t guess my postings were intended to be an hilarious parody of right-wing idiots? If so, I should apologize for not adding a laughing-face icon.
On the other hand, it does show how idiotic the idiots have become, if an hilarious parody is a believable imitation of genuine right-wing “thought.”
