Umm. You need to think about that more. Or learn some math, yo.



You get more cost savings by reducing the total amount of people on the program. The biggest group of people on the program are White people.



hahaha I like the tenacity.

Well, if his goal isn't cost savings, what is it?

This is the context he's talking in - reducing 'welfare'.

Changing the culture of entitlement? It's obviously something other than cost savings.

You believe that? I sure don't.

It's dog whistle politics that everyone is trying to spin.

It's classic Newt.

What else could it be? Its not cost savings since he isn't going after white people. What do you believe it is?

He didn't issue that statement for the benefit of anyone likely to attend an NAACP meeting nor would he ever actually say something like that at an NAACP meeting.

He issued it for the type of people who think the majority of those who would attend an NAACP meeting...are on food stamps.

Just said what I think it is and Ptilk echoes the sentiment.

In other words, dog-whistle politics.

Never heard of dog-whistle politics, but okay.

I'm sure he is going after white people. He's just not going to do it at the NAACP convention.
