Bush to Spend $1 Billion Over 5 Years to Encourage Marriage

[Moonbeam]

I have always believed that poverty is caused by a lack of money.

does this mean Bush will buy single parents eHarmony subscriptions?

Personally, I think it's a waste of time as well as a waste of $. Marriage can promote itself just fine, it doesn't need a government campaign to do so. Moreover, eliminating the "marriage tax" would probably have a larger impact.

But then you would complain he's increasing the deficit!

No I wouldn't. I've thought the marriage "penalty" was unfair for a long time now.

So you think it's good to have children yanked from one parent on the weekend and sent to another for a few hours then sent back?

I think the money would be better spent making sure Deadbeat fathers pay all their child support instead of spending money trying to keep loveless marrages together which don't benefit the child.

Oh Crimson, the money spent on the War Against Drugs is also a huge waste.

Then why don't you complain about that? Because it doesn't fit your agenda?

What agenda is that Crimson?

Oh, you KNOW the agenda..

Maybe we should just give out 1 billion to unwed welfare mothers for each additional kid they have during the next 5 years instead.

I'll give you $5 for that red herring.


Wait, on second thought $10 for the straw man.

I thought the republicans were for a small goverment ( or atleast not spending ) and staying out of our lives.

Hence "conservative".

You righties complain when a liberal spend money on social programs but dont complain about this ?


I think it is BS that bush wants me to marry i still have alot of err ... "things to do" 😉

too tired to read the writings of all you idiots.

bottom line-

kids are better in a stable, mom & dad environment.

if you don't think so, you're an idiot.

so, bush wants to spend a billion to educate you idiots.

should be in the education dept. budget.

If America wasn't so obese, I bet the marriage rate would be higher 😉

 

[Witling]

What's the big deal, that's about what I spend. (Credit cards!)

are they better with a husband that beats his wife ? mental and pyshicaly (sp )

and where did kids come into play ?

it never did. just because 2 people are married doesnt mean they are going to have kids.

with the US leading the way in divorces the last thing anybody should do is push someone into marriage.

I don't think the problem is pushing people into marriage, because they seem quite willing to do that on their own.
