Big Five/Six Program? I'm entirely unfamiliar with the subject, can't find anything from cursory googling. I remember saying to a friend of mine the other day that I no longer believed in America's ability to be a force for peace and moral justice across the world by virtue of hegemony. But it's a new cold war now, and at least our missiles are pointed in their direction.

I love the part where the leader of the VA GOP says that there's no place for racism in Virginia. Didn't hear that in the Senate race 4 months ago, friend.

i'm pretty okay with sending deadbeat dads to prison for refusal to pay child support. My parents divorced early and my mother had to go to court multiple times to get the child support she was owed. Maybe a stronger deterrent would have eased that particular load. Moreover, I don't think prison should be reserved only for violent offenders, unless y'all are happy with fines and golf courses for white collar crime. Nobody should be sent to prison for inability to pay. In such a case, the state imposes wage garnishment, as well they should.

hobbesmaster posted:There should never be a time where they’re sent to prison, a court can take whatever assets the deadbeat has. If there are no assets then sending them to prison makes things worse deadbeat dads who abandon their children and actively refuse to pay child support or cooperate with state garnishment of assets should go to jail. If they were willing to pay in the first place, they wouldn't have been prosecuted for nonpayment of child support.

quote:The problem is that its hard to hold a job when you can't show up because you're in jail? And I'm pretty sure that even with reduced standards you can't enlist if you have a warrant out for your arrest? They're not holding down a job or enlisting anyways, because doing so means Mom gets some money and gently caress that bitch, right? Obviously the state should be providing support for childcare. But it's not, and I like to make policy based on the world we live in, not the world we wished we lived in. If deadbeat dads really don't want to pay their child support and refuse to contribute productively to society, then they should be punished with prison time. No, the child isn't getting any money from the father, but the child wasn't getting any money from the father anyways and this establishes a significant and severe consequence for nonpayment. It also gets borderline abusive parents who would otherwise not be caught in the domestic abuse net out of their child's lives. Honestly I already liked Klobuchar, this is really just cementing my primary vote. Edit: to clarify a bit, I don't think putting deadbeat dads in jail is the foremost policy issue of our time. I don't particularly care whether a candidate supports it or not - it's just a nice bonus and with luck it'll get more dads to pay for their goddamn child support like they're supposed to. I'd be happy with non-criminal penalties as well, but prison time is a very reasonable policy proposal and I'm happy to give it a chance.

Kawasaki Nun posted:Yeah because deterrence works so well in every other aspect of our criminal justice system for the indigent. You have stupid ideas that will only create more misery, but hey if you feel good proposing them then I guess that's really is what is important. Being poor should not be a literal get out of jail free card. Moreover, this isn't only hitting the poor. My father was a multimillionaire until he lost it all in 2008 and he still didn't pay all the child support he was supposed to despite the fact that my mother was pretty dirt poor in comparison. She didn't even ask him for any alimony either!

Lol if you think Chavez didn't burn people alive. In 2016 there were reports of government supporters stringing up razor wire in the streets to decapitate opposition motorists. Torture, arrest, disappearances and murders. And oodles of assassinations too! Everyone in Venezuela is poo poo. The opposition as of last year was more concerned with getting Leopoldo Lopez out of prison than they were doing anything else and are utterly fractured between colossal tensions internally between the center left and the far right. It's why you some 40-50% of voters saying "ni-ni" - because they have no hope in anyone. There's violence on all sides - though the government, as usual, is better at using it. The most you can say about any of it is that it's Chavez and Maduro's policies which have contributed to the rumination of a nation. In the response to catastrophy the government has done next to nothing other than to continue to plunder its own citizens in a desperate attempt to steal as much wealth from Venezuelans as possible and in so doing so have driven millions of their people out of the country as refugees and millions more into black markets and criminality. Almost anything in the world would be better for the public. It's not that I think Guaido and co are any good. It's that I think that Maduro and Chavez's legacy is so bad it takes a lot more than burning people in the streets for the opposition to be worse. Still pretty loving bad though and the US sure won't make it any better.
