I don't recall mentioning anything about McCain in my post. Since you brought it up neither candidate is worth voting for. I wouldn't vote for either of them for a county office period. It's a sad day in the United States if all we can muster up for president is the likes of Obama or McCain. We are collectively in deep shit and it isn't going to get much better for awhile. /end threadjack.

Call it a social safety net or whatever you want it doesn't change the fact there is consecutive generations living off our tax dollars. I have witnessed several instances of three generations living within a block of each other. Drop by for a beer sometime and I'll take you around my neighborhood and you can witness it too. Just a mere 300 yards or two doors down the mobile home has camaras all around so no one steals the pot/drugs etc they sell for cash while they suck all they can from the government teat. Dad works a part time job, has for years, and they qualify for section 8, food stamps and the mom/kids get free medical care courtesy of you and I. Grandma and Grandpa and Dads brother, wife and family live behind them in two other homes. All sucking what they can from you and I. Shit they got it made. Granted there may have been some reform in the nineties but more needs to be done. It's a helluva thing to have to pass a piss test to get a job so you can pay taxes to the government so they can give your money away to people that don't have to pass a piss test to qualify for the government teat.

To equate welfare programs with government backed student loans or state supported universities is a bit of a stretch to say the least.


I do agree there needs to be a safety net for everyone. It should be a safety net, not a lifestyle.
