"Why I Stayed"

[CountDeMoney]

We're broke, man.  Something's gotta give.

So it's even more broke people?  There's only so much you can squeeze out anymore. 

[garbon]

Yeah, that's your heart breaking over it, alright.

Don't you dare imply that derspiess is short on empathy

Well actually, they're broke.

Well actually those broke people don't have the funds anyone (nor are they prime contributors to the funds), so it isn't really squeezed out of them.

I'm sure they'll be relieved to hear that.

Should that be a concern?

And, as usual, it's the most vulnerable in society who have to give the most.

What do you want me to give, then?

[CountDeMoney]

It should be.

A damn, maybe?

Last I heard, they're free.

Sorry.  Ask me tomorrow morning if I can give a shit and you may be in luck.

A good start would be to give it some attention and treating it as a problem worth addressing to begin with. After that, giving support and attention to people who are working to solve the problems would be useful that.

If you'd then give support to moving helping the poor away from the bottom of the funding priority list, that would be solid too.

Or how about I just donate to the poor through charitable donations?  Like I do now.

I don't really think a driving concern should be whether or not those receiving assistance feel they are getting enough. I doubt there is anyone from the poorest of individuals to the wealthiest individuals who would ever say "you're giving me too much money."

That said, yes I agree that it is rather silly to suggest that if the government is spending too much, then we should make spending cuts targeting the poorest members.

Don't we have a childhood obesity problem?
