Unfunded Liabilities

According to U.S. Department of Agriculture estimates (2004) families will spend on average between $134,370 to $284,460 to raise a child from birth through age 17.

If we lived our personal life as some conservatives want to run our government, nobody should have a child without these funds in the pipeline. Likewise, nobody should buy a home with anything less than cash on hand.

Even something as simple as groceries can create a fiscal crisis. I just figured out that over the next 30 years I have over $180,000 in unfunded grocery liabilities!

I'd better start cutting services to the poor.

I gotta admit....it's more fun when the GOP runs government. (we don't even discuss boring stuff like..."How do we pay for that?'....We investigate steroid use in MLB "Flag Burning"....fun stuff!)

How do parents pay for a child? They budget, they plan, they prioritize. They figure out what is important in their lives and then find a way to make it work.

This scare tactic employed by the right to make Social Security and Medicare appear unaffordable is a fallacious argument. If we want to make those programs a priority, then they can be afforded... just like my groceries.

If you are a single person making $18,000/year, you shouldn't have 12 kids with 12 different women and be on the hook for $180,000/year in child support.

An 81% tax increase? Who wouldn't love that!?

Sure, all you need are massive, economy killing, tax increases and we can live in a veritable Progressive Utopia of cradle to grave entitlement programs... Just like the island paradise of Cuba.

go tell the kids that.

& they only make that argument when the Dems run things. When they're in cointrol the most important problems facing this nation are steroid use in MLB & flag burning!
