    Another laughably stupid argument from the economically ignorant.

    The U. N. official is a "special rapporteur" which is a person appointed by an organization to report on the proceedings of its meetings.

    The budget for the next two years will contain $138 billion in new domestic spending. I wonder how many people will fall into poverty if the federal government stops funding Sesame Street? They already make millions from the sale of licensed products.

Sorry military lovers, but you are gulping up the wealth of America. We a e making choices.We spend more on the military than the next 10 countries combined, and have for decades. We are not starving the military. But if you buiid it, you will use it and we have been in wars or interfering in other nations for a century. The real cost is hidden, however add in the CIA, and the nuclear programs costs, and you will get a sense of how big it really is. Don't forget the cost of the VA and healthcare of ex soldiers. The cost of 900 military bases. The pay to soldiers and staff. It is a waste. try waging peace.
    Even taking your position at face value, it does not change that the DNC routinely bends over backwards to screw southern states. Killed Tobacco; Killed small manufacturing; Trying to Kill Coal; Trying to kill farming. It doesn't matter how much you cut from defense if you send it all to NYC and Silicon Valley.

    Last time I read the Constitution it gave Congress the delegated authority to raise and maintain a military.

    Addressing your last example, last time I read the Constitution, Congress DOESN'T have authority over healthcare. You're more than welcome to provide coverage for any of those you appear to be claiming you care for when it comes to healthcare coverage. They're not my responsibility. If you want to take them on as yours, please do.

    We have the intellect to imagine the finality of our own demise but do not have the sophistication to overcome our survival instinct and accept it.
    Solution? Magical thinking and childish promises of everlasting life.
    Ergo, religion.

    rac·ist
    rāsəst/noun
    a person who believes that a particular race is superior to another.
    Ask yourself honestly if this describes what you believe to be true.
    If the answer is yes, you are a racist.

As we learned from obamacare, universal crappy health INSURANCE isn't practical either. To top it off, people thinking that an American Marxist utopia is the wave of the future are having children at a rate that is sure to exacerbate the problem. These people should not be reproducing(at least until they are emotionally and economically mature enough to support a family). It is my opinion that coming to America, or having children outside of an emotionally and economically stable marriage should be very unattractive to anyone consider either.
    40 million out of an estimated 326 million (rounded up by 111K) would mean that 8% of the population in poverty.

    I wonder how much of that percentage would decrease, if all illegals were removed?

    Now consider that the number of Kanadians living in poverty is at 13%.

    Looks like Moon should begin his complaining at home.
