Who Knew Talking About The Economy Could Be So Stimulating?

The problem with responding to the $200 million dollars included in the stimulus bill is the amount of time it takes to layout simple logic. Those of you out there who are reading this and saying “Everyone already knows this!” bear with me, I have no choice but to plot thru slowly, as though talking to a 4 year old due to how this “plan” has been reported in the mainstream media. You see, I have actually read the bill, which in reading, proved that it is not, what our politicians and mediots have declared it to be.

Ok, here we go… The bill is supposedly a stimulus bill, which would indicate that the money being borrowed would stimulate the economy. To stimulate the economy means to excite, encourage, and ignite (if you will) the economy. So the money being borrowed from us, in theory, should get the economy going for all of our betterment.

Now, if 200 million is spent towards family planning the question is, “How does that stimulate the economy?” and “How does that help the economy to grow, and affect us now, and in the future?” You see, we’re not talking about morals and values, its basic fact, action vs. reaction, etc. If this were a bill for family planning, then it would make sense. But it’s an ECONOMY bill. We have to wonder what family planning has to do with the economy, and the actual business of the country’s financial state. And there might be an answer, but it’s not obvious, so let’s look at it logically. Because if the $200 million doesn’t actually stimulate the flow and liquidity in the job sector, banks, and markets, then its only purpose is to grease the palms of the family planning community. In essence, it’s money thrown down the toilet in order to make “Planned Parenthood” happy. Remember, the bill has a job to do. Any penny or dime that doesn’t directly impact that business and financial sector is wasted money.

What is the purpose of family planning? Many I’ve heard have made the correlation between the ideas that women who can plan their children are more productive members of society and give birth to more productive members of society. Ok, by a long stretch of the imagination, that can be tied to the economy. After 40 years, the social experiment of family planning and abortions have many, many conclusions. The mantra that child abuse and teenage pregnancies would disappear has been proven false. Family planning and abortion has led to a society that glorifies out-of-wedlock children and diminishes the idea of a two parent, financially secure household. This in turn has led to higher crime, more people dependant on welfare, and more of a burden on taxpayers. So the social experiment failed. It’s been 40 years and the proof is all around us. Let me make it a bit clearer for you.

Instead of decreasing the numbers, the social experiment with family planning and abortion actually caused a rise in child abuse, teenage pregnancies, welfare dependants, and tax burdens. All that work and the opposite happened. It’s not about my personal beliefs, these are facts. The numbers have gone up. The more people are told they can have sex without consequences, the more people go and have sex and suffer the consequences. No matter how many condoms are available, how many abortion clinics are on the street, how many teachers teach teenagers how to use birth control, human nature guarantees failure. And the more people doing dangerous activities the more people will suffer the dangerous consequences. Its science, physics. I can’t make it any clearer. No matter the precautions, there is always a fail rate. If more people are participating than the chances are more people will fail. I’ll try to give an example, but most people just won’t get it. I don’t know why, but they can’t wrap their brain around it.

OK. If ten people are putting their hands in a fire and getting burned you may say “Hey, we need to help those people. Let’s make a glove that protects their hand so they won’t get burned.” So you make a glove and give it to the ten people. All ten put it on. The problem is it’s guaranteed that at least 2 of the 10 people will use the glove incorrectly. That is human nature. Not all people use things correctly. So 8 of the ten are safe now, but 2 still get burned. OK, but at least it’s only 2 getting burned instead of 10 right? Except now we invite a bunch of people over to put their hands in the fire too, since we have all this protection. Except we know that for every 10 people putting their hand in, 2 will get burned. Now instead of 10 people we have 10,000 people putting their hand in the fire and even though we have protection and 8000 of them don’t get burned, we now have 2000 people who are injured. That’s why it’s sometimes better for people to be taught not to do dangerous things rather than telling everyone to do really dangerous things but use protection. Because when people are told NOT to do something that they shouldn’t do it for this reason or that, less people do it and less people get hurt.

The other aspect to consider is why we would need $200 million more put towards family planning at all. Lets say, for hypothetical reasons, that family planning DID lead to future economic stimulus and that what you said was true, that women who had access to family planning and abortions would work more and give more money to the government in turn being more productive members of society and giving back to their communities. Even if that were true (which it’s not) we already have family planning available all over this country; from high schools to strip malls. Women in any major city can find a Planned Parenthood or other clinic that offers a sliding scale charge for birth control and abortions. Almost all health insurances cover birth control, and for women without health insurance any one of these clinics will cover the pill and other female contraceptive for next to nothing. Not to mention that condoms are almost free. So even if one could prove that family planning is good for the economy, it’s not a needed expense since it’s already available. And if people out there say there aren’t enough, I want the name of cities, streets, areas, barrios, etc. that a clinic isn’t somewhere within a bus stop. We can’t have a clinic on every corner in every city, and if we wanted to do that, $200 million wouldn’t pay for it, and that’s not what this said it was going to do. So please, tell me why we need this money to go for family planning?

People are supporting giving $200 million dollars to the some guy in the government and yet have no idea what he’s going to do with it. Obama says family planning and everyone just creams in their pants but they have no idea what that means. Please, someone, explain it to me. How is the money to be spent? Who gets it? What exactly will be done with each dollar? How does it help the economy since this is an economic bill? Answer those questions and I’ll contemplate it. But just saying the words “family planning” doesn’t get me all excited. It’s not about my religion, my beliefs, or my values. It’s about logic. People hear a statement and parrot it because Nancy Pelosi and Obama are their spiritual guides and like a lemming, they say whatever their leaders say without any thought to what it means. They are the epitome of everything the liberals say they hate about Christians. Christians are accused of going into church and just reciting what they hear without any thought, but this bill and the answers for the stealing of all of this money, and the reaction from the liberals in the cult who just spew what they hear without ever dissecting it just proves that it is the LIBERALS who are sheep and not the other way around.

I request that anyone who wishes to argue my points actually read them before you just spout what you hear on MSNBC or read in the Times. Think, absorb what I’ve said, and THAN offer your argument. I’d love to hear it, but no one seems to want to actually talk logically, just emotionally.
