Replying to a message of Jeff Binkley to Bob Ackley: BA>>>> You really want to support another 32 million BA>>>> unemployed/unemployable welfare recipients in this country? JB>>> Wow. You condemn them all to a life of poverty and don't JB>>> believe that all life is precious and able to all significant JB>>> value to their Earth? BA>> On your first point I don't condemn them to anything, I simply noted BA>> that there aren't enough (paying) jobs for the people who are here BA>> now. Adding 32 million to the population would simply aggravate the BA>> existing problem. JB> You miss the economics point people create jobs for other people and JB> that a country's most valuable natural resource is its people. I am JB> not making an assumption here that all 32M of these people would JB> have been a drain on society. I also am not going down the liberal JB> road viewpoint that there are too many people on earth and thus we JB> ought to start population control. When the liberals start lining JB> up to solve the problem, starting with themselves, then I might JB> believe they are serious about the issue. FWIW I don't consider myself either liberal or left wing. I am a card-carrying, dues-paying Libertarian (unlike most 'members' of the two major parties). That said I have managed to avoid having offspring, so you may consider me to be serious about the issue. Not having offspring means I don't have to worry about the godawful mess they're going to have to try to live in. --- FleetStreet 1.19+* Origin: Bob's Boneyard, Emerson, Iowa (1:300/3) SEEN-BY: 10/1 3 11/331 14/250 34/999 120/228 123/500 128/2 187 140/1 222/2 SEEN-BY: 226/0 249/303 250/306 261/20 38 100 1381 1404 1406 1418 266/1413 SEEN-BY: 280/1027 320/119 396/45 633/260 267 690/734 712/848 800/432 801/161 SEEN-BY: 801/189 2222/700 2320/100 105 5030/1256 @PATH: 300/3 14/5 140/1 261/38 633/260 267 |
