So you want to do away with "food stamps?" BTW, it's officially SNAP benefits - no food stamps in years. So your brother-in-law is seriously injured by an uninsured motorist, loses his job, uses up all his unemployment, but you don't want him to get assistance with purchasing food. So he'll be moving in with you, I assume The Bible says the poor will be with us always. Do you suggest we let them starve? And you wonder why some say Republicans are cold-hearted?

I will take care of my bro in law if that happens. not for completely cutting,,, however we are trillions in debt, we have to cut. Smaller government, close borders, don't send money (we don't have) to other countries. stop the billions to immigrants. Cut down pensions to govt. employees (most SS retirees paid in more than govt. employees to pension). stop pandering to media and make difficult decisions.

We spend more money on defense than the next 26 countries, combined. 24 of which are our allies, or were before Trump. Why do Republicans insist on cutting the 'safety net' when there are LOTS of places we could cut funding and never notice.

The US economy performs better under Democratic presidents. Why?

The US economy performs better under Democratic presidents. Why ? Since World War II, economic growth has been faster in the US under Democratic presidents than under Republican ones. This column documents that which party controls Congress does not matter for growth, that the Democratic growth advantage is concentrated in the first two years of a presidency, and that presidential party affiliation Granger-causes growth. Neither fiscal nor monetary policy can account for this gap. Instead,...

The Dunning-Kruger Effect May Help Explain Trump's Support A new study suggests some people grossly overestimate their political knowledge. Posted Aug 22, 2018 In the past, some prominent psychologists have explained President Donald Trump ’s unwavering support by alluding to a well-established psychological phenomenon known as the “Dunning-Kruger effect.” The effect is a type of cognitive bias , where people with little expertise or ability assume they have superior expertise or ability.

The GOP is about to melt down! The Republican Party is NOT having a great time of it right now. Not only does the party have an insane president that almost everyone has acknowledged is ruining the country (or very close to being impeached or put in jail), but the party is becoming fragmented within itself thanks to the way this horrendous presidency is going. There’s no doubt in anyone’s mind that the presidents of the past are horrified by what they’re seeing happen to this country as...

You mean like the false narrative that ANTIFA is an anti fascism organization or that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is intelligent? Anyone with a education can see ANTIFA is violent against anyone who does not share their beliefs and do not tolerate them, sort of like Fascist. Well all anyone has to do is listen to the new House Representative and know she does not have a clue. Seems liberals have the Dunning Kruger effect.

The recent doxxing of an Antifa leader was quite enlightening. One, Joe Alcoff had two other nom de guerres he operated under. He's a communist, who advocates for extreme violence. Works with Democrat politicians, was interviewed on MSNBC, and writes for several national publications. His CV reads like that of an 1960s radical -- traveled internationally to work with other reds.

nice democrat article or study? This is true, however it goes both ways. Many follow democrat leaders blindly. Republicans in congress don't just follow the party, while democrats stick together and vote their party line (with the exception of WV).

What I've asked of any liberal for the past 3-4 years was to explain why they were liberal, just a few tenets of their reasons of choice or were they born that way. Appears liberals not sure why or it's a secret. It's not that Republicans are right but the only logical way of life is the conservative way.

Lamont, I've viewed the activities of three Democrat politicians presently in the news. Their views are out of touch with reality. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) is currently the new thing with the press. Despite an economics major, she has no idea what basic economics statistics represent. She advocates numerous utopian dreams, but no idea how to finance them. For example, her Medicare for all plan would require a doubling of federal revenues -- not just income tax, but Medicare and Social...

As to facts, of the Democrats I've cited, one is new, untried and ignorant of economics -- AOC. The other two, Newsom and de Blasio, are experienced politicians, with years of experience. As to trickle down -- when JFK used "a rising tide raises all boats" Democrats hailed it. There are three examples of reducing taxes, resulting in significant revenue increases. None lead to major recessions. The reductions under JFK/LBJ and Reagan lead to economic booms. The one under George W. Bush did...
