Indeed. We all know that going to college, getting a job, later starting your own business, and retiring on social security that you contributed to for 40+ years is the epitome of government dependency.

Its hard to imagine a more effective Obama campaign ad than this thread, taken as a whole.

what crank are they smoking that this is "being taken care of from cradle to grave?"

this is a person who goes to school, gets a job, plans her family, sends her kids to school, starts a business, creates jobs, and retires to an active, healthy seniorhood of giving back to the community, making way for the next generation. EARNING MONEY AND PAYING TAXES ALL THE WAY. This is what makes for the stable, consuming middle class that capitalism and democracy requires.

I suppose it would be fairer if she was engaged in a Darwinian death struggle her whole life, just because she wasn't born rich like Mittens?

A decade of Fox News propaganda has really made a certain group of Americans stupider and more mean-spirited than I would have ever thought possible.

Because according to Obama none of it would be possible without government programs and all the 'free' stuff he gives you with said programs.

Capiche paisanos?

I would love to see where all this free stuff is for women business owners. I've been searching for years and the only "free" thing I've found to help me survive is my own labor.

The word "free" does not appear in any of the slides.

"Under President Obama: Julia decides to have a child. Throughout her pregnancy, she benefits from maternal checkups, prenatal care, and free screenings under health care reform." - but i digress

So all these govt programs in the slides don’t cost money?
Money we don’t and will never have I may add

Other things that don’t appear in the slides:

Age 3: Under 3 years of Obama, Julias share of the national debt increase approx $16K

Age 17: Race to the top has been funded by more debt that she will have to pay back and the public indoctrination facilities known as public schools, are funded by the confiscation of her parents wealth via income and property taxes

Age 18: This tax credit magically came out of thin air and her cost of college is so astronomical and costs out of reach. To pay for her tuition she will be indebted again, to the federal govt, on top of her piece of the national debt.

Age 22: She is not only on her parents HCare until 28, she lives with her parents to the age of 35 b/ there are no jobs available to college graduates.

Etc,etc,etc …

Nor does an explanation for where the funding for expanding feel-good social welfare programs will come from. But that's ok, as the debacle with the Philadelphia School District budget proves, as long as the intention is good, we need never pay the bills, right?

Notice how they forget to include the fact that your labor will be taxed even more to pay for all of the Julia's!

All of the Julias are taxed exactly as much as they vote to support being taxed to pay for themselves you mean. Its not like you and I are not Julia's. We are.

maybe it would be more impressive if "julia" did not have to lean on the government crutch.

Maybe Obama thinks we all named our daughters Julia

Who the frack is Julia, why is Obama patronizing her and why are we subsidizing her entire life?

**seand** · 05-03-2012, 04:17 PM

We are subsidizing are own lives because buying the "general welfare" mandated in the Constitution is often best purchased with a national group discount.

paying back student loans is free? social security that you pay into all your life is free? working women paying taxes are leaning on the government crutch?

you know what really costs society money? Unhealthy, uneducated people who can't work. Making sure people have the opportunity for decent healthcare and education GENERATES money for the economy and SAVES on government spending on, oh, say, prisons. This simple concept really seems too much for some to grasp.

Although clearly there are some mentally unhealthy and deeply uneducated people on this board, so it does seem there are some being left out.
