As for the heating fuel issue, the govt comes to the rescue again, spending more than ever before in order to care for people from craddle to grave:

You lost me here.

I asked what you meant by entitlements and you give me info and say nothing about what your definition of entitlements are?

I gave the definitions I hear most GOP calling "entitlements" such as SS, Unemployment, Student loans and grants, and so on then argued Billionaires and Fortune 500 companies take advantage of federally funded programs moreso than the people who need them.

So what is your point? I never said anything about soup lines or that unempolymet is high (it has been with so many factories closing down, but there are a lot of part-time minimum waged jobs out here also.)

Median income to me means nothing, it doesn't tell how much the true average family makes. That just means 50% make more than that and 50% make less than that. The true stat I would be interested in seeing is the percentages of families/households living in the the 10-20,000, 20-30,000 range, the 30-40,000 and so on all the way up. And then show me which way those percentages have moved. That would be the true indicator of how the country's families are moving not the median.

But again, that has nothing to do with the topic or my asking you what you definition of entitlements are? And do you support corporate welfare and corporations using legal loopholes and high paid lawyers to collect millions?

And where's your argument on what Voinovich said? I see you trying to change the subject and totally ignoring the topic.
