Name one city that went bankrupt because they educated too many children.
I can name several that went bankrupt because of pension costs.
BTW: Putting lots of links in your posts doesn’t negate your blatant racism.[/quote]
You’re the one who keeps focusing on race while I keep focusing on economics and facts. The racism is in your head; it swims in there and corrupts your ability to think logically about a variety of issues. Try focusing on what was actually stated, instead of what you imagined (and falsely attributed to me).
As to your point about going bankrupt as a result of educating too many children…
Did you ever bother to actually look at budget numbers? California’s #1 spending category is K-12 education (followed by Health and Human Services, which is also highly impacted by illegal immigration). If you increase the number of students, you increase the amount of resources necessary to educate them, and that includes teachers and their pensions. Those extra students cost state taxpayers a lot of money, and their parents are not paying anywhere near enough to cover these costs. Are you going to pretend that this is not the case?
As I’ve stated multiple times before, I don’t begrudge the immigrants who come here to make a better life for themselves and their families, but I most certainly despise those who abuse them for their cheap, exploitable labor and who don’t want to pay for the costs that society incurs as a result.
You’ve long complained about people who actually use facts, statistics, logic, and cited sources to bolster their arguments (what you call “cut and paste”). Do you honestly think that what you do (making ad hominem attacks, spewing divisive propaganda and establishment talking points, etc.) gives you credibility?
As much as you, zk, and Brian like to complain about Trump and the people who voted for him (I voted for Jill Stein, not Trump, BTW), it’s people like you who are the reason Trump won. I have yet to see you win over a single person with all of your emotionally-based, ill-informed, and hateful rhetoric. If anything, you’ve made them feel more entrenched in their beliefs. Do you do this on purpose?
