Ryan's Twisted Demented Logic - Poverty Programs Cause People To Be Poor

[TheMastersNemesis]

So removing poverty programs will reduce poverty and encourage people to work. The latest scheme is to have a work program for the Food Stamp Program when 92% of the recipients are already working or are disabled and unemployable (They cannot work). Even if the 8% who are theoretically able bodied, there are no jobs for them.

1. Corporate welfare causes fewer jobs, less production

See how that works Ryan?

[mazzarro]

2. That means no one was poor in the United States before the programs came into being?

Is that what you are saying Mr. Ryan?

3. Corporate welfare gives incentives to CEOs not to hire workers.

And hoard the money all for themselves. Ryan is a stupid moran that knows nothing about economics.

4. So he's saying businesses are eager to hire?? Ryan's painted himself into a corner on this one...

5. Will the Food Stamp Work Program pay $25 an hour?

Problem solved!

6. Well, Sir, When They Die Of Starvation And Disease, The Number Of Poor Will Decrease....

One of the redeeming features of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries is that people would actually say what they meant in economic matters, and a man saying then what Ryan says today would state clearly how this would reduce the number of poor persons....

7. Ryan Is A Very Dangerous Genocidal Politician Who Would Do Huge Damage To The Country

The terrorists are not our problem.

8. There aren't enough jobs

And the answer I've heard from the right wing libertarians like Ryan is that if we did away with minimum wage, there would be lots of jobs. Yep.
