You guys are really, really good. Your clear thinking is impressive. Just awesome! McGowan asks for stats the shows US prowess in economic freedom

I post:
Children under the poverty level:

United States 22.4%
Canada 15.5
United Kingdom 9.3
Switzerland 7.8
Sweden 5.0
Germany 4.9
Norway 4.8

From alanw
This after 35+ years of the Democratic solution of throw money at the problem. Should prove to you that giving people money doesn't help the situation.

From McGowan
You like that socialist cesspool[UK]? Fine. Stay there.

Do you see any subtle conflict between your post and that of McGowan?

Out here in the San Francisco Bay area a young boy was brutally attacked by three Pit Bull dogs. He was horribly mauled and will face many years of corrective surgery. The listeners of KGO radio have donated over 200,000 dollars to a trust fund for the child. That fund is still growing as donations continue to pour in. He was riding his new bike that his parents had bought him for making the school honor roll when the three dogs attacked him.

Say what you wish about the people of this state, but we do have something here that many others lack. We have hearts and aren't afraid of "throwing some money at the problem".
