Official LRC President Joseph R Biden Thread

Here are a few:

- 2 free years of community college, regardless of income. Pork, oink, oink.

- Child care and universal pre-K. More pork, oink, oink.

- Extended childcare tax credits until 2025- More pork, oink, oink.

If all the funds went towards roads, bridges, railroads, tunnels & airports- then no problem. However, you idiot dems want to stick in all these wasteful entitlement/social programs.

Cut out the pork, dem idiots.

Pork is by definition, legislation that affects a local area. So nothing you identified is pork as they all affect the entire nation. But thank you for being specific.

For now let's discuss you objection to free community college and universal pre-K. Are you opposed to public education in general or do you just think expansion of public education is a bad idea?

Would two-years of free community college also come with free access to the recreational facilities of the college like the gym, pool, etc.? I haven't heard that there would be any minimum performance standard grade wise, so why not just enroll for free, use the facilities for free and blow off the classes?

From what I've read, the minimum performance standard is a high school diploma or GED. That could be problematic in itself, but one could make the argument that community colleges often serve as "13th grade" anyway as they cater to students who still need to learn what they should have picked up in high school.

Of course, there are many excellent students that go to community college for a variety of reasons, with the most common one being lower cost.

So I think community colleges would need to adapt to an influx of students with a wider variety of educational needs. "13th grade" is still a valid need for many students.

As for whether students would enroll just get access to the recreational facilities, I think that could be dealt with pretty easily at the school level by putting in place some academic requirements for use of those facilities.

These entitlements have NOTHING to do with infrastructure, it is all pork. Oink, oink.

"Biden has lost ground among almost every single demographic group over the past few months, but independents and Hispanics stick out as two key groups where Biden’s standing has especially faltered. For Democrats looking ahead to the 2022 midterms, Biden’s overall approval rating is concerning enough, but if Biden is struggling to win independents and Hispanics, that could snuff out any hope Democrats have of holding either chamber of Congress."

Saudis hedging their bets by buying into a second Trump presidency.

This will be forgotten by the time trump takes office and voila.

You are too liberally biased to explain. You are really an embarrassment to be an AMERICAN CITIZEN! Can’t wait for 2024!

The first five years are critical for the development of a child's brain. Universal pre-K reduces the number of children who are ill-prepared for the elementary school. It will reduce the number of adults who are unemployable down the road, and therefore reduces public assistance payment. It's good investment for future.

It gives you much better return on investment than free community college.

The current bill is not so much an infrastructure bill as it is a gift to the people who supported, Joe, Hillary and Bernie. Americans need to stop depnding on the government to solve all their problems. Tighten your belts and fend for yourself!

Yeah, don't complain if you lose your job to an immigrant. You just need to work harder. ;)

Should we cut out public kindergarten and 12th grade?

If not, why do you have a problem with government funded pre-K and community college?

If governments don't help to solve the climate crisis, nobody will be able to fend for themselves.

But hey, if you want to be a hunter/gatherer and fend for yourself today, nobody is stopping you.

Some of it is indeed political payback to supporters. No doubt about it.

But Republicans in congress (especially Mitch) keep fighting against campaign finance reform. Would you support efforts to fix the system? Republicans need to join with Democrats on this issue.

You left out Manchin and Sinema. Nobody is getting bigger payback gifts than those two.

But but but Hunter!

No way man. This is definitely just an honest transaction with a well deserving hard working American firm run by a very objective and empathetic person who worked hard for the people. But President Hunter’s artwork, now that’s something that could derail our country!

Part time joe. 👎👎👎👎👎🤡🤡🤡🤡
