    You, I presume, work and pay taxes, Which pay for those things. And because of over spending, the government is no longer able to provide up keep for infrastructure. And why??? Because we are, as a nation, over burdened with welfare for the masses, the unemployed, underemployed, and most blacks are unemployed and underemployed because of the ILLEGAL children and their illegal,law breaking parents. They came here knowing it was against the law. But, they knew, liberals lone your friends in office, will not enforce the laws on the books. And by the way, when a public employee and official FAIL to enforce laws, statutes, municipal codes, etc., they are breaking laws TOO ... and can be fired, and prosecuted for not doing as the public has hired or voted them into office to do, or, to do as THEY SWORE AN OATH TO DO.

    Liberalism is a disease, A sin, and if liberals fail to follow the laws they helped write, how much more are they guilty of ignoring the scripture to obey the laws of the land, Romans 13:1-7.

    No, I presume you use highways.

    I presume you eat food. Indeed,

    if you do not work nor pay taxes what does that say about you using government benefits?

    I do find it ironic that you do not complain about government subsidies that help keep the price of produce low and, thus, benefit you, while you complain bitterly about children in need being helped. How do you justify that stance?

    Ann, you know, there are more than "some"scamming the system. All those on aide and still having babies, fourth and fifth generation welfare families, (ab)use the system to their gain. And our government knows people need to be working, yet they allow the borders to be porous, knowing all too well, jobs OUR own citizens should be holding down, will be filled by illegal's, meaning we have to provide welfare for or own citizens. The government is guilty of aiding and abetting welfare dependence and even fraud. And i not a few, but MANY. So sad what w are doing.

    Again, you are purposely straying off topic to avoid the real issue. Why are taxes being used to provide breakfast and lunch during non school sessions? This is supposed to be a school program, ran while school is in session, not a year round free lunch program. Avoiding the issue doesn't change the facts. The bleeding heart syndrome is bankrupting this nation.

    Why are taxes being used to subsidize:

    1. Corn
    2. Wheat
    3. Soybeans
    4. Rice
    5. Beer
    6. Milk
    7. Beef
    8. Peanut Butter
    9. Sunflower Oil
    http://articles.mercola.com/sites/a...s-the-us-government-is-paying-you-to-eat.aspx


    Any product you buy that uses these commodities means you are being aided. I find it amazing that beer is subsidized as well as wheat. A double subsidy there I'd say.

    Again, why is it all right for you to receive help, whether you asked for it or not, and it is bad to help kids in need who re hungry?

    You're AVOIDING the issues.This is my last response for you to stay on subject. I started this OP, and I will not buy into your liberal games. You have lost this one, start your own OP with that as your question, and maybe I'll bite! Or, maybe I won't. That is the chance you take. Truth is you can't answer the facts before you.

    Truth is my question is right on target. Your refusal to answer shows you realize you are in an impossible position to defend.

    Simple question, why are you entitled to benefits you want to refuse to children?

    Ditto. It's a shame that this would be constant display of selfishness and disregard for the plight of the poor or anyone some feel to be less worthy than them has kinda become what folks expect from "radical right" Christians.

    People complain about the poor receiving benefits and often do nor realize that they are receiving benefits and often those benefits are more expensive than the services to the poor.

    From: http://fivethirtyeight.com/datalab/most-americans-get-free-stuff-from-the-government/

    But “free stuff” from the government is far more extensive than the benefits disdained by those politicians, and is eagerly accepted by people of every race and income level. As Howard Gleckman, a tax expert who writes for the Tax Policy Center, a joint venture of the Brookings Institution and the Urban Institute, pointed out recently, virtually every American gets some kind of government subsidy, from people who have mortgages or employer-sponsored health care (big tax deductions) to those who work for or invest in big companies (big corporate tax subsidies). Recipients of Social Security and Medicare get back far more in benefits than they paid in taxes.

    And that is the big problem, more benefits than revenue. Can we go on forever in such a spiral [I know you don't care]? Maybe that's one of those principles you and your wife worked out?

    Do you favor:

    1. Eliminating these programs?
    2. Continue funding them, being sure they are fully funded?

    What programs? This started off about kids getting tax-funded breakfasts, but you insert socialist security, highways, and crop subsidies. Which are you blowing about now?

    He is using typical liberal avoidance tactics! He is like an atheist, chnging the subject hoping to get us off track! I am through with ctb, as he knows the truth, and fails to acknowledge it! Have fun, but to debate with him on any liberal issue is LIKE .....

    I simply ask a question that was a logical extension of what you say you believe. As it put you in an impossible position to defend without showing your perniciousness you refuse to answer.

    So again, I ask, why do you accept benefits from the government that you do not want similar benefits given to poor children? Please answer. Continued whining only shows the weakness of your position.
