...and use borrowing for capital/infrastructure improvements.
No. Leave a loophole and it will be abused. Gradually, free education, welfare, and medicare will become "infrastructure improvements". I can just hear it now, "People are our infrastructure."
You should be automatically registered to vote when you do things like get a drivers license.
Legal residents who are citizens of foreign countries can get driver's licenses, generally speaking. You are proposing that they automatically be allowed to vote.
Ask Jeb Bush how effective trying to persuade people to vote for him (using money to buy advertisements) was. He spent about $150,000,000.00 and got 286,634 votes. That's $523 per vote.
By way of contrast, pay a bunch of people on welfare $20 each, load them onto a bus, and cart them around to voting centers where the staff is all friendly. With a bit of planning, they might each vote 10 times in a single day.
Everything in life affects the poor and minorities disproportionately.
Lumping together "poor" and "minorities" shows that you're just parroting the standard leftist line, and not thinking. U.S. citizens of Asian heritage tend to be more intelligent and more polite than the average citizen, and consequently most people treat them better. They're a minority.
Because that money has to come from people have earned it. It is good to earn an honest living. It is bad to not do enough to earn an honest living. You are proposing to take from good and give to bad. That is the primary characteristic of immoral behavior.
Gee, there's 128 hours a week when I'm not working. I don't have time to think! Surely, if I just had 148 hours a week when I'm not working I'd have time to think. When pigs fly.
An honest person does not expect to be paid for doing nothing. A person who does nothing deserves nothing. Do you not believe in the action of moral law?
How quaint. You don't understand that most major politicians want a population of toadies and people they can punish. They want to destroy and humiliate. Wars and taxation are just window dressing in their sick minds.
Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
Matthew 10:34
The Bible, even the revered words of Jesus in the New Testament, includes plenty of incentive to smite your enemies. What's necessary is to compare the Bible to the Koran - and by comparison, the Koran is much more full of paranoia, hatred, and encouragement to enslave, torture, and kill.
ISIS wants to enslave or kill anyone not a Muslim to their standards. Our appeasement strategy will not work no matter how ethical we are.
The only way to end the threat of Islamic takeover of the world, next year or in 20 centuries, is to annihilate Islam root and branch. Turning Iran into a radioactive wasteland would be a good start.
Law and right are only coincidentally related. You may have the legal power to control the spending of somebody else's money, but you do not have the right.
That the US doesn't recognize that it is at war with Islamism, does not mean that such a state of war doesn't exist. Members of a terrorist's family are giving aid and comfort to the enemy. Failure to act accordingly means the end of freedom in America and an escalating death count of Americans. Better that they should die.
Hillary isn't smart enough to figure out the consequences of her actions. She promoted "Arab Spring", which was a major step into the current middle-east mess.
An alternate explanation is that she doesn't give a damn about the consequences, so she doesn't bother thinking about them.
Trump, on the other hand, probably understands the that idea of "peace through strength" means that our enemies must know that we can and will turn them into dust if and only if they screw with us.
Hillary is corrupt throughout and without limit. Hillary, almost as much as Obama, is a conscious enemy of the United States of America. Trump at the least is pro-America.
Glenn Beck related an interesting story about this phenomenon. Being the visible person he is, with the politics he has, meant he had to be careful in hiring a contractor. In the end, the contractor himself had to do the work, because none of the contractor's staff who were actually Americans stayed on the job long enough to get it done. It took a long time because one person is a lot slower than a whole team.
Military secrets to China. Uranium to Russia. Accessory before and after the fact to the rape and murder of Ambassador Stevens. That's 3 counts of treason for which she should be indicted, tried, convicted and executed.

Your version of this standard doesn't scan properly. There aren't enough syllables in the first line of each verse.

Is it "fair" that people who work hard and effectively, get their money stolen from them to make your hallucination into reality?
Gee, there's 128 hours a week when I'm not working. I don't have time to think! Surely, if I just had 148 hours a week when I'm not working I'd have time to think.
When pigs fly.
Prove it. Prove that we won't be attacked by any opportunist with armed forces if we disband ours.
Stop being a fool.

Deport them to Bikini Atoll.
Stop trying to rewrite history. The Clinton impeachment attempt was based on his perjury.

Gaining weight is the result of absorbing more calories than you burn. Not all food that is consumed is absorbed.

The EU was a suicide pact for Great Britain. The English were fortunate to get out while they still could.
The current trend is down, so maintaining the policies that created the trend does no good.
Life is change. Status quo is death.
Trump is largely ignorant of the free market. Hillary is an active enemy of the free market. Which does our economic health more harm?
Green Party. Q.E.D.
Your reasoning is as good as your use of the English language.
Hillary is corrupt throughout and without limit. Hillary, almost as much as Obama, is a conscious enemy of the United States of America. Trump at the least is pro-America.
US policies have been considered a joke by many foreigners for over half a century. We're still better off than they are.
The proof is in the pudding.
