A swing and a miss.
nope, see above. his own words about supporting pregnant women like you with medicaid: "IT IS NOT THE GOVERNMENT'S RESPONSIBILITY"

furthermore:

Our government used to fully understand the role of private-sector charitable organizations in ameliorating the plight of the poor. This is why the government offered tax deductions and exemptions for churches and other charitable organizations. Today the government actually competes with many of these private-sector charities while still offering them tax deductions. How does this wasteful duplication benefit government or us, its citizens? Certainly by creating huge government entitlement programs, the size and power of the government increases dramatically. Before long, people generally depend on government for everything from health care and education, to a comfortable retirement, instead of looking to government for the basic protection of life and property, as well as providing public roads and public safety.

Still not saying he wants to get rid of medicaid/medicare/foodstamps.

When asked directly on that point he says he doesn't want to get rid of those programs.

i already quoted him stating that he wants to reallocate all the funds of medicaid into the idea of health savings accounts.

that means no more medicaid for you or your kid, pie.

how do you not get this?

“I would never get rid of the programs,” he said. “I would provide people with an alternative and I think they will see the alternative we’re going to outline is so much better than anything else.”

“I do not believe in imposing things on people,” Carson said. “I believe in presenting things that are so attractive that people will quickly migrate to them.”

so how quickly are you going to migrate to a health savings plan and insurance you have stated that you are unable to afford, rather than the medicaid welfare you depend on then?

LOL!

and does intensifying the war on drugs appeal to you as well? does that seem more attractive than anything else?

you really should vote democrat. not sure why you are voting against your own best interests.

i mean, i am doing fine. i have several trades, any of which would make me a nice living by itself, and a wife who has the same going for her, plus she has investments and assets galore. we don't need any help. we should vote republican, but we are not greedy. we want to help people like you who are less skilled, less lucky, and not as well off.

why don't you want to help yourself out in the same way?

Because I don't agree with you.

yes you do.

i have even quoted posts from you stating how well medicaid works, how well it works for you, how you fear what would happen during a government shutdown, and how it does not need to be changed.

i am convinced that you are just trying to troll me, and are having a bit of fun by making a complete liar ut of yourself. you win at your own expense, kind of like voting republican!

Medicaid does provide a valuable service. Having dealt with it, I know there are areas that need to be improved.

I can like one thing about the program and dislike another thing about it.

Ben Carson Just Backtracked on His Radical Minimum Wage Idea
He changed his mind sometime between the second and fourth GOP debates.

On stage at the second debate, Carson said that he was ”probably” or “possibly” in favor of raising the federal rate, which has been stuck at $7.25 since 2009. “I think we need to get both sides of this issue to sit down and talk … and negotiate a reasonable minimum wage.”

Carson even went a step further and suggested tying the minimum rate to inflation so it would adjust automatically each year. “[W]e should index [the new federal minimum wage] so that we never have to have this conversation again in the history of America,” he said.


When asked again about the minimum wage at the fourth Republican debate on Tuesday night in Milwaukee, Carson backpedaled out of the liberal territory he’d tiptoed into.

When asked explicitly if he would raise the minimum wage, Carson replied, “I would not raise it.”

why are you advocating for a candidate who wants to get rid of it, give you a voucher to put in a health savings account, and then tell you to go get insurance for the rest when you have stated you cannot afford the insurance?

too bad.

flaming pie, who i have always respected until recently, was counting on ben to "increase economic opportunity" for her family, so that she could afford the fact that he wants to kick them off medicaid and crack down on their growing for side income.

a race to the bottom sure won't do that for her.
