California flies Communist Chinese flag

Why? I don't understand it. If there is money to be handed out it should go to the legal tax payers.

Future Democrat voters. Bought and paid for.

In other news, California is still bankrupt but handing millions to illegals

LOS ANGELES (CBSLA.com) — A projected $650 million in welfare benefits will be distributed to illegal alien parents in 2013, county officials said Monday.

Supervisor Michael D. Antonovich announced the latest figures from the Department of Public Social Services, which showed more than $376 million in CalWORKs benefits and food stamps combined have been distributed through July to illegal alien parents for their native-born children.

Approximately $54 million in welfare payments are issued each month, consisting of nearly $20 million in CalWORKs and $34 million in food stamp issuances, according to the data.

An estimated 100,000 children of 60,000 undocumented parents receive aid in Los Angeles County, according to Antonovich, who said this year’s projections — up about $1 million from the nearly $53 million in total benefits issued in July 2012 — underscore the economic impact of the nation’s immigration debate.

“When you add the $550 million for public safety and nearly $500 million for healthcare, the total cost for illegal immigrants to county taxpayers exceeds $1.6 billion dollars a year,” Antonovich said in a statement. “These costs do not even include the hundreds of millions of dollars spent annually for education.”

Not really. Socialism would require all of us to get the same treatment no matter rank or time in service. There's, I think, 8 classifications of veterans for treatment and tons of disability percentages and treatments.

No, it would not, but I see what you're getting at.

Obviously you aren't a socialist, even though you are obtuse. You are, however, enmeshed in a form of socialism.

Pretty sure supporting socialism would be supporting people getting the same everything I have, whether they worked for it or not. Instead? My health care goes from Tricare Prime to Standard and the ACA gives illegals more free stuff.

I don't have a single issue with the money that taxpayers give to him, I just like pointing out hypocrisy in his posts.

Your right, not that 90% of the people on this board will ever listen to anything they didn't hear on Faux news anyway. One way to get a reaction is to punch buttons ya know?

Sure, it's one way to get a reaction, if you want to be a dick about it. The better way would be to engage in conversation and leave folks' family out of it. You're being the kind of "lefty" that nobody wants to talk to because your penis has swapped places with your brain.

If you cannot adequately get your position across without bringing other folks' family into it then you need to step back and rethink your approach.

Oh the irony.

I absolutely agree with you, Ceyko, that he has definitely earned his pension. My point is more that the military is a socialist institution in the same way that public roads and the police are. That is in no way a slight on anyone that has ever served, merely an observation of the mechanism by which the military operates. The, "Socialist," rib was exactly that, a rib. Socialism is not when people get something for nothing. That is entitlement.

I'm just jacking with you man. That being said, your argument is a non-sequitur. It's constitutional, but it's still socialist.

I don't know, maybe my idea/interpretation of socialist is wrong. Or I am biased towards disabled vets - which I won't change on.

To me, he is getting a benefit from a job he did and a contract he signed. Us using our health insurance would be socialist if what he is getting is socialist.

Just getting something for doing absolutely NOTHING could fall as socialist in my opinion. Disabled vets did something, lost something (health, mind...etc) and as part of the benefits they receive a check.

I mean, I have long term disability insurance. If I have to use it, am I socialist? No different. Except when you're military the government is the "company" that provides the benefits.

Article 1 Section 8, power to raise and support an Army. My paycheck is constitutional. Next?
