Finances are really the only exception. And getting out of Iraq would probably provide enough extra rev for whatever the hell it is obama wants to do.

Getting out of Iraq gives us the ability to stop borrowing from China, which is a good start. We need to rid our generation of social security ... that's currently ~40% of our GDP. Keep funding for the old farts with our money because they were lied to and cheated. But be honest with us genxers, it's simply not going to be there and we shouldn't have to pay for our gov't funded retirement that won't exist.
But you want the gov't up our asses with finances??? Do you really think the way they fake budgeting and spend frivolously is going to get the country in better shape?
Give the taxes back to the people and let them donate how they see fit. You want to give money to poverty stricken families, cool. Many others will too. I'm personally going to set up free internet access and give those same kids a cpu. Again, teach to fish.

99% is a bit high, perhaps 60-70% is closer, and I do feel for those people. Or maybe Detroit has some ambitious poor people that I've never experienced. Go live in Memphis for a bit and you'll get a glimpse of reality.
Shitty medical care is better than no medical care.
Breaking the chain is tough to do. Giving the handouts has not worked, time to figure something else out. And fucked up adults come from not being loved as a child, not anything that has to do with money, education & food. How can you really say that you love your child when you know you can't afford them and keep popping more out ... that's not love like republicans know it. Remember, Job #1 is to take care of yourself and your family.

That's a whole different topic and I would wager that very few people in the country agrees with me on this one. That's ok, I still stand behind it. If you want kids that bad after getting your finances together, adopt. Love has nothing to do with genetics.
