Such unbelievably bad leadership, bad policy, and non-existent understanding of basic economic theories. Incredible.
To say this special session will go down poorly in history would be an understatement. No Hoosier will be left unscathed.
any excuse to delay recession aid…
Quote: “I don’t have any red lines right now,” Holcomb said. “It’s of paramount importance to me … that we must recognize that this issue is one of the most divisive by definition—when you look at where people fall in the nation—and that will require a thoughtful and respectful airing of where we all come from.”
Blah, blah, blah, blah…geeze, if only we had a principled person for a governor, rather than one who makes sticking Jello to a wall look easy.
Don’t worry, Bob. He’s going to sign whatever the Legislatures writes in their private caucus. All they have to do is have a few sham hearings that will change nothing, and voilà, an abortion ban with a token amount of funding increases that will fool some voters into thinking they’re actually pro-life and not just anti-abortion, but that won’t actually be enough to increase outcomes for kids of mothers.
Am in the only one who looks at all this and thinks that, sure, one day at the gates God will be glad that we reduced abortion .. but he will also ask us why we fought so hard to make sure that the government was unable to help those in need? Why we didn’t do more for the poor and downtrodden? Why we didn’t recognize that so many got abortions because they didn’t have access to contraceptives, they couldn’t afford the medical bills, and they sure as heck can’t afford to raise a kid. Those needs are already not being met and it’s going to be worse with more people forced to have babies. Abortion bans without fully meeting those needs is not pro-life.
Joe B. — Is government suppose to provide cradle to grave entitlements to
people just because they may be lower income??
We already provide a deal of government services and assistance to low
income people. Add it all up and it’s auite a significant amount.
Why do we treat poor people like blind lost puppies.
Keith – should the world’s richest country just have people live on the streets in abject poverty because some people have decided it’s their own fault they’re poor, when the system pretty well ensures that if you’re born to bad circumstances, you will stay in them in most cases?
If people are bothered by the mentally ill on street corners, why did we close mental hospitals are let people loose thinking that they could just take a pill and it would all work out?
Why do we have laws that encourage people not to work because they might be better off financially doing nothing as opposed to working?
Why, if a nuclear family with two parents with one able to stay home and raise the kids is so important, have we allowed wage growth to stagnate to where most families have to have both spouses working if they want any decent housing or quality of life?
I’d personally take a run at ditching the entire welfare entitlement system and pilot a universal basic income system for those below a certain income level. You get some amount of money, it’s on you to use it wisely. Yeah, we’d need to provide some kind of financial literacy assistance … but what we’re doing now isn’t working. Heck, I’d try boarding schools just to get people out of their circumstances.
+1. Joe B. Eloquent and on target.
Never known a governor who could talk more and say less than Holcomb. SMH
Don’t give us money back. Just implement the reduced income tax rate versus phasing it in over a few years. That impacts a lot of people too.
