    OK, they promised when Trump won, anyone think these leftist scumbags will keep their promise this time?

    We can only hope.

    They are just creating drama to try and boost their importance. They do a lot of talking and bragging, but NOT one of them will leave the United States.

    In that case why should our tax dollars go to anyones spousal benefits?


    Once the gov has our money, we’re pretty much screwed in having any say in how it’s spent.
    I have no problem with a woman who is a wife getting spousal benefits.

    And you are pretty much right on the second point.

    I mean more along the lines of why *should* those benefits go to the spouse.

    I’ve heard justifications for helping to encourage families and children, but then there is a question of why a spouse should get any benefits if for some reason they didn’t have children.

    If it’s not about children then it’s simply down to the disapproval of the relationship. But then I don’t think the gov should be picking and choosing who gets what based on a moral approval that doesn’t have anything to do with violated rights. So I guess I fall in to the category of marriage having nothing to do with government and either no gov benefit at all or if you want the gov involved and some kind of benefits to encourage marriage then go civil union and open it for everyone.


    Or I guess you could limit benefits to only those who marry and have children as a way to encourage enough reproduction to maintain/grow the population if that is the goal. But I don’t really believe it has any effect or creates stable relationships. That comes from culture which is beyond the control of the gov for the most part.

    I agree that government can do very little to create stable relationships. However, I believe government has vast potential to discourage their formation. Look at the war on low- and middle-income black families that the government has waged for almost 50 years.

    Yeah, I have to agree with this.


    It used to be that those in hard places would go to community organizations dedicated to families and stability for help. Now it’s the government that handles that role and rewards increase to match with poor decisions. Just one example.

    Those with differing opinions - please tell me, what is the difference between abortion and murder?!?!
    “My body, my choice” is pure bullshit - the life within your womb is NOT YOUR BODY - he/she is no different than you! How would you have liked it if YOU were ABORTED?!?!
