More of the "Do less, get more mentality". So glad I do not live in Beaumont. Weren't they already named Top 10 dumbest city in America or something of that nature?

How does a "house" become affordable, in these terms?  I only understand that if one works then one can "afford" a house!

I've built a couple hundred free govt houses over the last few years in pretty much ever city in this area(including yours.)  It's not just Beaumont.

The news story reported by KFDM (Channel 6) said nothing about free housing.  It is a news story about affordable housing for senior citizens in a part of Beaumont where they can walk to and from stores that offer goods and services.  Most senior citizens are on fixed incomes, be it from Social Security, or retirement investments, or both, and they need housing at a price point that fits within their budget.  Many of those seniors likely paid into Social Security and Medicare in the form of payroll deductions.  Are they not entitled to the Social Security benefits they are receiving?  Where is the "Do Less, Get More" mentality?  Why not use public funds to assist senior citizens?  The story reported by Channel 6 was not about Section 8 subsidized housing for welfare queens and kings.  Why bash Beaumont for being dumb?  What is dumb about using public funds to assist local senior citizens in your community?

Find common ground and work together to make American great again.  Isn't that what President Trump wants?  Conservatives push a Bible-based agenda, but they overlook the scriptures where the Lord said to care for the poor, widows, orphans, and society in general. See Deuteronomy 15:7-11, Proverbs 14:31, Jeremiah 22:16, Matthew 19:21, 25:35, and 1 John 3:17-18.

3...2...1...those in the center, or on the left are dumb, radical, too eclectic, too liberal, stealing from the rich to give to the poor, taking from the workers to give to the lazy, taking from the haves to care for the have-nots so they can push a gay agenda, etc.  Response:  No, not at all.  Let's spend tax funds wisely to take care of our armed services, seniors, vets, and rebuild infrastructure.  No one is advocating giving free money or free housing to the Jerry Springer crowd.  That was not the story reported by KFDM.

Peace.

I still think you need a reading comprehension lesson. Didn't I just point this out to you on the sports section?

* A mind is a terrible thing to waste

* Weren't they already named Top 10 dumbest city in America or something of that nature?

I rest my case!!

FYI, most (if not all) seniors are still paying into Medicare.  I got @ a $24 raise on SS, and Medicare payments went up @ $32.  Net loss.

    • That’s a heck of a take there. If you could just remove Kountze’s top 6-7 players, you got them.
    • naw, maaaaybe 7, definitely not 8 deep.  today im avoiding sitting by #10s parents, had to move away yesterday.   "put my son back in jub, put my son back in"  and then crying on every little touch of someone.    lets ball out today ktz!    
    • Very close game until the 2nd half (mostly the 4th) when Orangefield came unraveled. Worse defensive effort I have seen out of the Bobcats in three years. This team has to get back on D and quit getting beat over the top when pressing. Offensively, non ball handlers continually turn it over and their shot selection is poor. Basic basketball, such as: defensive hustle, boxing out, and taking care of the basketball are the areas the Bobcats need to work on most. Whitmire will get them on point, but he shouldn't have to coach effort at the Varsity Level.  We'll be at McNeese this Friday night at 6pm.
    • I don’t benefit from it, that’s not my area.  But the average cost to imprison someone is around $15k per year (on average in the US) and capital cases cost somewhere between $1.5-$3M with over half being overturned or reduced to life in prison anyway.  These numbers may be inflated since the last report I read but I’m sure it would be on both sides and higher on the DP side if anything. So what’s the point?  We feel better because we got to return the favor on someone (hopefully) who committed a heinous crime?  And I don’t know I can say we have “complicated” it. Which appeal should we cut out?  Our justice system has a pecking order and we have higher courts for a reason. When we are about to impose the ultimate judgment, should we cut steps that other cases have to save a buck?  Or do we not pay for an indigent person’s experts at the trial court level because it’s too expensive? Or do we just lock them up and throw away the key (unless we later find out they weren’t actually guilty, in which case we have a key and a life we haven’t unjustly ended) and save a ton of money?  Seems to me to be an obvious solution but I’m more of a pragmatist.
    • 1 thing for certain. Coach Earned 3 more years to figure it out lol
