I would be interested to know where these fallacies originate.

You voted for a fallacy and it is rearing its ugly head and you have no answers I feel for you. Just don't say we didn't tell you so.

Some of the founding members of the right wing-nuttery (Cato, Heritage, etc), and a bunch of obscure links to... Midnight Basketball? Rankings of GDP by country? Keynesian econmonic theory (which supports the idea of a massive stimulus!)?Quote:

Here's a link to the actual house bill. Start reading, you will find things like a local dog park, water slides in FL, a new 3 million dollar club house for a municiple golf course and the list goes on and on.Quote:

Oh, new cars, PELL grants (welfare), Food stamps (welfare), and on and on.
Refundable tax credits (welfare).

Interesting that what you focused on was a couple of your personal boogiemen in an attempt to discredit the entire list of links. The list contained links from a variety of sources both left, right .gov and .edu. It would have been just as easy to focus on the .gov. .edu, and left wing news sources.
I suppose if you don’t want to discuss the merits with her that is a great tactic.
Your bias is showing.

Get rid of these welfare programs. Why do we have to pay for some woman having 8 kids in one shot? Or even pay for a person having one kid? Why do people who have kids get tax credits and free public education? If you have kids, that's your responsibility and none of us should have to pay for their education or anything else.
