I don't think we should increase welfare spending.
welfare is a financial trap
the last 2 times I got laid off from my manufacturing job
I refused to collect unemployment
If you go to school you lose your benifit
If you get a job you lose half of what you make from said benifit
and even though you pay for it through through taxes,
you still have to pay income tax on benifit.
long term welfare is even worse, enslaving generations.
the only social spending I agree with is emergency relief
and investment spending... ie:
infrastructure, education, housing..(FHA home ownership...not projects)

I really can't wait for the next pointless truthout article to be posted on the politics forum.

Blah...blah...I've heard the same about FOX news from the other side.
Disagree with the organization, and even the truth is false.
If we could take the partisan blinders off and look around
we would see that the truth is some where in the middle.

durable goods
Definition
Products that aren't consumed or quickly disposed of, and can be used for
Three years or more. also called hard goods.
This can be millitary or civilian.
Aparently the jump was due to Boeing sales (commercial not defence)
while all others were down.
