  • I like Tim Walz, but unfortunately, he fucked up. Should have had more oversight in his system. I’m for social welfare programs, but they can get abused, which is why it’s critical that they’re well-funded enough to be efficient and have good oversight to make sure they’re not open to too much fraud.

    To be honest, I don’t think Democrats on the whole have done social welfare well. Admittedly, that’s often because Republicans get in the way of giving the systems adequate funding, but even in most Blue states, they’re inadequately funded.

    Anyway, it’s too bad he’s going out this way. He was otherwise a great governor.




  • I hate to break it to you, but the people who are the most strenuously pro-life are Christian bible thumpers who believe people shouldn’t even be having sex before marriage, and even afterwards solely for the purposes of having children. So, if you have a baby you weren’t trying to have, you’ve sinned in their eyes. For a father to abandon his paternalistic responsibility to their child is another sin, so I don’t think they’d really care if the law forced him to at least pay child support.

    Believe me, I’ve had this conversation with members of my family who are like this and it doesn’t trap them in the set of consequences you think it does. They’re perfectly fine with them.
