it's an argument AND a ad hominem

why should we pay for his prison sentence, why isn't he paying it himself?

like she paid her student loans?

it's ok for the public to pay to feed and house her son but not ok for the public to pay dor education?

    It's an argument and an insult.

    An actual Ad hominem debate tactic implies it's a distraction from making an actual argument by trying to discredit the person who you're arguing against/or their source.
