Attached to: Space Station Funding Safe - For Now.  Couple
things that can be said about this nonsense.  First, you do know
that the US has transferred around 5 TRILLION dollars to the
poor since the sixties? Clearly dumping more money into a
corrupt welfare system isn't the solution.  Second, how many
children actually die in the U.S. of starvation? Oh, zero? Not
to say that some people couldn't live better, but the poorest
person in the U.S. lives better than the average person in a lot
of other countries.  The solution to poverty is 1) a growing
economy, and 2) encouragement of people to get a job and support
themselves (and sometimes this has to be "tough love"). Dumping
more money has not been and never will be the solution.  But I'm
sure screaming "more money!" impresses your friends with your
"caring"."
