Yes. Allowing inner city kids to choose private schools simply works, and it's wildly popular among people who would benefit.

"ou mean by increasing benefits for people who have more children?"

I mean handing out cash to people who have kids, and giving more cash when there's no husband in the picture.

Paul, when you tell people you'll pay them to have babies, and you'll pay them more if there's no husband than you'll pay them if there is a husband, what do you think is going to happen? Is it really hard to predict?Can you pls. show me an ad or a statement by any D. who has said we'll give you more cash if just have more babies? Bc I don't think that has ever been said.

"That is a lie"

You're saying I'm lying that democrats didn't celebrate low black unemployment at Trumps SOTU?Bc the know that didn't do much for "black unemployment" and that all unemployment went down as it continued a trend started bf Trump and that Black workers did not see employment levels ever go above the trend.

Here...go to the 1:00 mark or so, and you tell me I'm lying. The Congresional Black Caucus are all in their attire, all sitting there, miserable.

You tell me I'm not 100% correct there.

"what exactly Trump did for Blacks"

See if you can follow...He gave businesses massive incentive to hire. That helps people who aren't currently working, a disproportionate number of whom are black.See if you can follow - Everything that I read says that Black workers did not see employment levels ever go above the total trend. So if Black unemployment did not decrease % wise more than White unemployment, that means Trump did not do anything for Blacks than he did for Whites.

He also advocated for criminal justice reform, increased funding for black collegesNo he didn't. The bill was a 10-year renewal of funding. It was the same funding as was under Obama., things that help blacks.

Blacks did great under Trump.So, no they didn't

"You're the most divisive person here "

You have the ability to keep scrolling.Just want you to know how you and your ilk are so divisive.

You're paying taxes to send Hartford kids to crappy Hartford schools. You're paying anyway. Is it better for those kids for you to pay (and it's usually cheaper by the way) for them to go to a goos catholic school somewhere? I'm not saying raise your taxes to pay for that. I'm saying, instead of paying $19,000 a year to send those kids to lousy Hartford public schools, why not pay $5k a year to send them to a terrific catholic school (my little guys go to a catholic middle school, price tag is $5k a year). Not suggesting any new taxes, just diverting a portion of what we're already paying, to deliver a far superior product to kids who need it.

I think choice is a terrific idea. You'd rather doom those kids to failing sh*thole schools to make a political statement.

"Can you pls. show me an ad or a statement by any D. who has said we'll give you more cash if just have more babies? Bc I don't think that has ever been said."

Maybe it's never been said, but that's what welfare does. People on the take, figure it out. That's what the programs do. And the obvious side effect, is creating more fatherless kids.

Do you deny that welfare programs do this?

"Bc the know that didn't do much for "black unemployment"

Oh. So democrats only stand when the president is single-handedly responsible for the good result".

When Biden brags at his first SOTU about all the jobs created, will the democrats cheer? Did he personally create all those jobs? Or was the economy opening back up again before he was sworn in? Same with the stock market.

"So, no they didn't"

Please give me some meaningful measures by which black life didn't improve under Trump, compared to Obama.

We all know you guys all hate that blacks did well under Trump. But just because you can't stand it, doesn't mean it didn't happen.

You're paying taxes to send Hartford kids to crappy Hartford schools. You're paying anyway. Is it better for those kids for you to pay (and it's usually cheaper by the way) for them to go to a goos catholic school somewhere? not if it hurts public schools. I'm not saying raise your taxes to pay for that. I'm saying, instead of paying $19,000 a year to send those kids to lousy Hartford public schools, why not pay $5k a year to send them to a terrific catholic school (my little guys go to a catholic middle school, price tag is $5k a year). Not suggesting any new taxes, just diverting a portion of what we're already paying, to deliver a far superior product to kids who need it. It will hurt public schools. How about we fix any problems w/public schools.

I think choice is a terrific idea. You'd rather doom those kids to failing sh*thole schools to make a political statement.

Maybe it's never been said, but that's what welfare does. People on the take, The use of the words "on the take" cleary represent what Rs think of aid.figure it out. That's what the programs do. And the obvious side effect, is creating more fatherless kids.

Do you deny that welfare programs do this?So you think you get more money from the government than is the actual cost to raise children? What is the actual amount in aid a typical family gets?

"Bc the know that didn't do much for "black unemployment"

Oh. So democrats only stand when the president is single-handedly responsible for the good result".How about only standing when the Pres is honest and not lying?

When Biden brags at his first SOTU about all the jobs created, will the democrats cheer? Did he personally create all those jobs? Or was the economy opening back up again before he was sworn in? Same with the stock market. If he says "I alone did this" then they shouldn't stand. I know the Pres. isn't responsible for the job market or the stock market by fortunately/unfortunately gets blamed for them.

"So, no they didn't"

Please give me some meaningful measures by which black life didn't improve under Trump, compared to Obama. Race relations

We all know you guys all hate that blacks did well under Trump. But they didn't get better than Whites - regardless of the lies Trump said. But just because you can't stand it, doesn't mean it didn't happen.But I showed you that it didn't get any better for Blacks
