@Mofo1953 I think you're assuming that I'm advocating for the Republican party. I lean more to the left than the right for sure. I just don't think it's right to funnel this money into political agendas.

@kanzen so where should this money go? If not to the people who have the power to legislate change, then where? Be clear.

@Mofo1953 you sound pretty angry about my opinion. Are you one of the recipients? This kind of boils down to the question of whether or not political change is sufficient to move anything in the correct direction. Obviously we'd need to look at statistics and determined effective alternative routes like public education programs. There's more than one way to solve complex problems.

@kanzen not angry at all. For things to change structurally now, not in the future, you need legislation that republitards are not willing to even consider but dems are. That's being realistic, not angry. I am not in politics ergo not a recipient of anything even remotely, and for you to suggest this shows your miopic view on the issue. The majority of people already want this change, no need to further educate them on this particular point, but nothing will happen if republitards continue to be the senate majority. I am not against education either if you want to continue to defend your undefensible point using this as an excuse. So instead of changing the subject, I repeat my still unanswered question: for immediate change NOW, be clear, just say where will this money change things structurally in this coming year for example, and not ethereal stuff like "alternative routes like public education" when it is obvious that the majority of americans are already demanding changes now not 5 years or 10 years from now.
