I just want to know if a person can sue on the grounds of the free exercise of religion, to stop the gov from using my taxes to pay for abortions?
Abortion is legal. You are free to exercise your religion so long as it doesn't interfere with the rights of others.I just want to know if a person can sue on the grounds of the free exercise of religion, to stop the gov from using my taxes to pay for abortions?
But, (federal) taxpayer funded abortions are not. While one has the right to bear arms, they don't have a right to have government buy them one.Abortion is legal. You are free to exercise your religion so long as it doesn't interfere with the rights of others.

Children are a resource. While they can cost, if we don't get more, we are in real trouble demographically.People can spend 100K+_to sue for this. Likely won't win...But have at it Brother/Sister.
Wonder how much $$ the above tax payer is willing to put out in the care of children in foster care??
Sigh. Why do you think government spending is unsustainable? (In part, but especially in regards to social security and medicare.) Because of the baby boomers. They have been a huge cohort paying into the system for social security and medicare for decades to support a much smaller portion of the population's benefits. Sure, the amount above that required for current benefits was "invested" in Treasury bonds--with interest! One problem is that, rather than actually saving the money, the government spent it on other things. I believe Social Security drew down on those "investments" last year to the tune of 40 to 50 billion dollars. That money is part of the entitlement portion of our federal budget, but is not included in the deficit because it is "off the books". (Which was a clever dodge to allow the politicians to spend rather than save the funds put into medicare and social security.)I don't think we have a shortage of children in this country. Unfortunately we have a shortage of capable parents. And there's nothing to be done about the fact that (statistically) better educated, smarter people tend to have fewer children, except to provide better education about contraceptives to people of all income brackets.
Actually, Em there are. There are jobs that Americans don't want and there are jobs available in which Americans don't have the necessary skills.Tranq, there aren't even enough jobs for the workers we have now!
That just makes the problem worse. The bottom line is, because math, government spending is unsustainable without a substantive increase in population. (We didn't even get to Medicare/Obamacare that even huge increases in workers cannot solve.) If that population does not have work, government spending is, again, unsustainable. But, we don't have to worry about the work issue if we don't deal with the demographic (math) issue.Tranq, there aren't even enough jobs for the workers we have now!
Antigon* may or may not be right. At some point someone has to make something. It may not have to be a tangible thing, it could be an invention of a better or more efficient way to do something people need or want. Many of the people we are preparing for life are finding they should have studied manufacturing or...pipes, than some of the humanities. STEM is great, but is not the answer. We need farmers, plumbers, electricians, robot repair people too. My only saving grace for my lack of useful function is that there will always be taxes.Actually, Em there are. There are jobs that Americans don't want and there are jobs available in which Americans don't have the necessary skills.
That's why health care will be rationed and some fear the much ridiculed "death panels".Or those pesky baby boomers need to start dying!
there are no jobs that Americans don't want. There are jobs they are not willing to accept at the wages the employer wants to pay. Many, if not most, blue collar jobs have had a decrease in effective, if not actual, pay over the last couple of decades.Actually, Em there are. There are jobs that Americans don't want and there are jobs available in which Americans don't have the necessary skills.
How many of each do you want? I can give you a list of 1000 electricians who are skilled (within 100 miles of me). Probably a similar number of plumbers. Not quite as many robot techs but they are not scarce. You find me jobs that pay a decent wage and benefit package and I'll find you the tradesmen.tranq wrote:
