Carly Fiorina is set on repeat

[ChesusRice]

He railed against the government's lack of forethought to deal with the national debt. "We're not planning for the future," Carson said. "If we continue to spend ourselves into oblivion, we are going to destroy this nation." He also said the government is treating corporations "as enemies" and that corporate taxes should be lowered to encourage growth. "Corporations are not in business to be social-welfare organizations; they are there to make money," Carson said.
Charities, he added, are better at providing for the needy than the government. "Nobody is starving on the streets. We've always taken care of them," Carson said. "We take care of our own; we always have. It is not the government's responsibility."
-Ben Carson

 

[ChesusRice]

It is very difficult to travel to any community in our nation and not find charitable organizations specifically created to aid the indigent citizens of that community.
Our government used to fully understand the role of private-sector charitable organizations in ameliorating the plight of the poor. This is why the government offered tax deductions and exemptions for churches and other charitable organizations. Today the government actually competes with many of these private-sector charities while still offering them tax deductions. How does this wasteful duplication benefit government or us, its citizens? Certainly by creating huge government entitlement programs, the size and power of the government increases dramatically. Before long, people generally depend on government for everything from health care and education, to a comfortable retirement, instead of looking to government for the basic protection of life and property, as well as providing public roads and public safety.
-Ben Carson

 

[ChesusRice]

The Bible makes it clear that we have a responsibility to be kind to the poor among us. [But] America did not become a great nation by encouraging people to feel sorry for themselves and seek handouts from others
If we really want to eradicate poverty, we should allocate significant resources and personnel toward providing education and opportunity for the poor. And if we are to provide assistance to our able-bodied citizens, it should be attached to a requirement for work or acquisition of education and/or skills.
If they have to work anyway, many people will put real effort into finding the kind of job they want as opposed to collecting unemployment benefits and being assigned to work they consider undesirable. Some conservatives would say that we should leave such people on their own to sink or swim because we cannot afford to keep supporting them, while some liberals would say that these people already have enough problems and that it would be unfair to require anything of them. I reject both

They both vote in favor of budgets that expand our deficit. Serious question, are you collecting SSI for your mental retardation?

no, the deficit always goes down under democrats, and always up under republicans. this is basic fact.

go apply for SSI now. for mental retardation.

 

[UncleBuck]

the free stuff knuckle heads can't make their promises work without a robust capitalistic economy.

reported as bill o'reilly 2008 spam.

 

[The_Herban_Legend]

no, the deficit always goes down under democrats, and always up under republicans. this is basic fact.
.

Nobody is questioning that. I was pointing out the fact that all budgets are approved with Democratic support. I have already explained this to two retards, must I explain it to a third retard, you?

 

[UncleBuck]

I have Googled extensively and found there is no direct quote of him saying he will end either.

duh, you depend on medicaid and food stamps. he wouldn't risk losing your vote by actually saying it. he counts on you being too stupid. and he's right.

 

[UncleBuck]

you are a retarded person.

when a democrat signs off on the budget that the underlings work on, the deficit goes down. a lot. over a trillion dollars.

when a republican signs off on the budget, the deficit goes up. a lot. from a huge surplus to the biggest deficit ever. several trillion dollars.

the president has the bully pulpit and veto power. that's 67 votes. which party has ever had 67 votes?

none.

once again, you are a retarded person.

 

[UncleBuck]

Govt. programs like welfare keep people down, keep them dependent.

@Flaming Pie , is the medicaid and food stamps you receive keeping you down, or keeping you fed?

Learn how the Federal Budget Process works and get back to me.

i believe it works when a democrat or republican president signs off on a budget.

with democrats, the deficit goes down by trillions or to nothing. with republicans, it always goes up, sometimes by more than two trillion dollars.

ouch.

I don't have time to listen to the opinion of an uneducated clown.

i am stating fact, not opinion.
