When will the tax cuts start paying for themselves, as promised?

Is Special Olympics really such a big boondoggle? 18 million dollars crumbs disappear with regularity in the national defense black hole.

"..promote the general welfare and secure the blessings of liberty"

The preamble to the US Constitution may have no legally binding meaning, true, but is it mere puffery?

[boutons_deux]

Lol wtf. Really what is the defense for that?

morally, ethically, there is no defense, completely indefensible in DOEd's multi-billion budget. Devos is a Christian Taliban / Dominionist, a real nasty bitch

Billionaires like her don't give a shit what pain they inflict on others, are absent charity, empathy

[DMC]

"..promote the general welfare and secure the blessings of liberty"

The preamble to the US Constitution may have no legally binding meaning, true, but is it mere puffery?

How exactly do the Special Olympics qualify for either "general welfare' or "blessings of liberty"?

Should we also fund the Boy Scouts of America?

[DMC]

I'd rather tax-payer dollars fund this than the profits of Lockheed and Northrop.

False dilemma

[Winehole23]

The Boy Scouts are a private club.

If the people's representatives choose to appropriate money for the Special Olympics, what's the problem?

Are you really so red-assed about a widow's mite for differently-abled folks that we have to cut that down?

It doesn't serve the general welfare. Making retarded kids feel better about themselves doesn't promote better retarded adults, just look at Blake.

[DMC]

False equivalence. Special Olympics isn't there to provide food and shelter for misplaced or orphaned kids.

It depends on whether or not those people would become burdens on the state otherwise.

[Winehole23]

Close to 5 percent of the US population has a diagnosed cognitive disability. If you count all other disabilities, the percentage gets north of 12%.

That's a lot of affected families.

[Winehole23]

The Special Olympics, true, only touches a fraction of that.

But it's obtuse to suggest that support for intellectual disabilities, in toto, does not promote general welfare.

[Blake]

It promotes welfare of specific people. It doesn't promote general welfare. I get no direct benefit from it. Do you?

Then you should be willing to fund it yourself.

[Winehole23]

Special Olympics doesn't address it. It only provides a playground.A widows mite. Gives people joy , a sense of accomplishment and participation.

Why are you so red-assed about the crumb we give this?

[Winehole23]

Then you should be willing to fund it yourself.I do.

And so do you.

Write a letter to your congressman if you don't like it, I don't care what you think.

[DMC]

A widows mite. Gives people joy , a sense of accomplishment and participation.

Why arebyou so red-assed about the widow's mite we give this?

I am fine with the Special Olympics. I also will note that you moved the goalpost from Special Olympics to people with cognitive learning disabilities in general. It's one thing to spend money to address these issues, but Special Olympics doesn't make the participant any better than they were. It just makes them feel better emotionally, and it makes the parents feel better. That's not unimportant but it's not something taxpayers should fund.

There are plenty worthy causes that aren't funded by federal dollars, and calling it small change doesn't change the fact that all the concern expressed here and elsewhere could instead be dollars into an account to pay for it.

[DMC]

I do.

And so do you.

Write a letter to your congressman if you don't like it, I don't care what you think.
You also fund Northrop and General Dynamics and the border wall if it's built. You ok with that? Write a letter if not.

In fact, write a letter about DeVos defunding Special Olympics. That's what the OP is about anyhow.

[boutons_deux]

Devos pandering to the Christian Taliban, the Dominionists, the billionaires who are degrading public education

[Winehole23]

Defining the general welfare as what you personally need is preposterous. So is criticizing a particular program because it does not tend to solve all related issues.

Just say you don’t want to pay for it because you don’t like it. Pretending there’s some bigger principle at stake is bullshit.

[Winehole23]

It’s not like we’re discussing a revenue stream that crowds out other priorities.

[midnightpulp]

It promotes welfare of specific people. It doesn't promote general welfare. I get no direct benefit from it. Do you?

Heartwarming event, no? I feel I'm much better off watching a Special Olympics highlight than reading about our military (hallowed be thy name) spending 1.5 trillion on another toy that doesn't benefit me directly.

[midnightpulp]

It’s not like we’re discussing a revenue stream that crowds out other priorities.

Some defense contractor needs the extra 18 million for their bottom line. And keeping defense contractors as flush as humanly possible has always been the highest national priority.

Putting on a cape for Special Olympics but not being willing to fund it privately is part and parcel of being a liberal blowhard.

Should taxpayers pay for the basketball shoes of poor kids who want to play basketball? Isn't that general welfare? You brought the preamble into the picture. You made it about a bigger principle.

[DMC]

Heartwarming event, no? I feel I'm much better off watching a Special Olympics highlight than reading about our military (hallowed be thy name) spending 1.5 trillion on another toy that doesn't benefit me directly.

I think that's great. You should dig into your pockets and fund it without needing everyone else who doesn't want to watching to pitch in as well.

Why do you think this is an argument about the Special Olympics vs the department of defense? Why the false dilemma? Can you justify spending on the Special Olympics without comparing to something you don't like?

[DMC]

It’s not like we’re discussing a revenue stream that crowds out other priorities.

You still haven't justified it. Why should the taxpayers continue to fund the Special Olympics?

You still haven't justified it. Why should the taxpayers continue to fund the Special Olympics?It’s not my job to justify it, but it costs little to do and people like it.

What harm does it do? Does it do good?

What worthy priority is crowded out by it?

If the people like it and their representatives fund it, what’s the problem?

You haven’t proved there’s any problem with it, other than you think it frivolous.

[Winehole23]

Fortune cookie wisdom facade aside... Socialism isn't going to happen anytime soon. So sorry.I’m not talking about worker control of the workplace or state control of the means of production.

Similarly, I would like hawks who think Isis and China are imminent threats that are poised to take over Murrica fund the military out of their pocket.

I usually bring up defense spending to highlight the inconsistency in conservative arguments concerning spending. It seems every other form of "spending" is socialist waste personified except for the ridiculous amount of tax payer dollars that go toward "defending" the USA against the boogeyman of the decade. I never hear a peep from conservatives about military spending, but yet they have no shortage of complaints about EBT and Medicaid. I just find their "fiscally responsible" position hypocritical because they have nothing to say when the Air Force spends 300 grand on coffee cups and trillions on outdated conventional weapons, but everything to say about the "welfare queen" whipping out her EBT card at the local Ralphs.

The spending for defense is clearly laid out in the constitution. Putting private organizations like the Special Olympics into a "general welfare" category is stretching the concept and it's a slippery slope.

But your argument "there's waste in defense spending so might as well fund Special Olympics" is a non sequitur.

I'm basically asking, Why pick on the Special Olympics and not on the 1.5 trillion spent on the bloated F35 project? Or our presence in Afghanistan (wasn't getting Bin Laden the primary goal? Yeah, how long has it been now? Why is there even a single US troop stationed there?). Yes, this thread isn't about defense spending, but again, in every debate I've ever had, heard, or read about the budget, conservatives never, ever demand that defense spending is tightened up. The cuts are always toward social programs that actually might help people instead of toward something that kills goat herders. Why is that?

I haven't seen anyone demand that Special Olympics be defunded. I just don't see a problem with defunding it. When Trump pulled troops from Syria, I didn't have a problem with it. Many on the left did. If he pulls everyone from Afghanistan, I wouldn't have a problem with it. If they said the F-35 project is scrapped. I'd not have a problem with it. However it someone said "Oh my god they defunded the F-35 project" I'd state it's not really an issue, more like a money pit. When is the last time air superiority did anything for us and why can't we have that with cheaper planes than the money hog?

Well, that's not entirely accurate either. The USOC does get government funding for certain Paralympics Military programs, and it's pretty much the same reason: sponsorship is harder to find on some of these programs.

And we're not even talking hosting Olympic Games. At least, both the most recent Summer and Winter Games in the US had taxpayer subsidies on them.

Hardly a shoot down. Paralympics are funded by the military for wounded veterans and distinct from the "regular" olympics. I can accept the argument that "if we do it for them, why don't we do it for all disabled people?" but historically veteran benefits and programs have always been handled differently by the military.

[Winehole23]

Because puny message board striving is equivalent to a declared national emergency.

Hardly a shoot down. Paralympics are funded by the military for wounded veterans and distinct from the "regular" olympics. I can accept the argument that "if we do it for them, why don't we do it for all disabled people?" but historically veteran benefits and programs have always been handled differently by the military.U got shot down

Cutting Special Olympics is a mere symption of the braoder animus against social spending in general.

Fair enough. I think it would be more inclusive if local programs were prevalent though. I think of my own community; I think very little is being done for them. And I think part of that is the misnomer that Special Olympics has it covered.

Betsy DeVos’ Proposed Education Cuts Go Way Deeper Than The Special Olympics

Advocates say a proposed end to federal funding for the Special Olympics was merely a small part of an anti-disability budget.

“So many people don’t understand there are so many programs that impact kids with disabilities,”

“Just because they don’t have ‘disability’ in their name doesn’t mean the cuts being proposed in a variety of program aren’t serious.”

The Education Department’s proposed budget would eliminate 29 education programs (https://blogs.edweek.org/edweek/campaign-k-12/2019/03/trump-education-cuts-29-federal-programs-teacher-after-school.html), including

a program that operates after-school programs for low-income kids,

one that provides professional development for teachers and

one that helps provide mental health services.

These programs are essential to kids with disabilities,

It aims to cut over $7 billion from the Department of Education overall.
