Baltimore spends $15,168 per pupil (which is much higher than the national average of around $12k) and yet out of 39 high schools, 13 had a 0% of students proficient in math. Reading isn't too much better. Throwing money at problems is not always the answer. I'm not going to get through to you, so why waste my time on breaking a walnut with my teeth? You read Huffpost and think you are being told truth and regurgitate it as if you are wise. I don't think you understand how dire SS is let alone how to fix it. Are fixed income elderly going to better off when it runs out in ten years and their income is cut by 25% or more? Many in the GOP like myself recognize that it is not sustainable, and will run out of gas sooner than later. This means people will be in dire need. It is a ponzi scheme that is coming to fruition in your lifetime. We don't have welfare? What does that even mean boss? So is Section 8 not welfare? Are EIC not welfare? SNAPs not welfare?
You mischaracterize the GOP's positions because you listen to the likes of leftist at Huffpost and WP. SNAP reform is not getting rid of SNAP. It is merely insuring people don't take advantage of it, which many certainly are. The less people who need SNAP the better? Do you agree? Teach a man to fish and give him the tools to succeed is the best solution. Privatizing SS is not getting rid of SS, it is putting people in control instead of a crooked bureaucracy. If fixing it requires people to not get those benefits for a few years later, that sucks but the alternative is much worse. Love to you and yours cutie.
