The ‘bent one’ and the hildabeast take great pride in mentioning how the bent one “ended” welfare during his term. What he actually did was spread it out over eighty (80) different Federal agencies and call it different names. When you put them all back together, welfare is of course larger than either social security and the military combined, or medicaid and the military combined. And comes pretty close to the total of all three. But not even the Republicans seem to want to talk about that. In the various programs that were raped as part of this charade, none took it in the shorts as bad as the Social Security disability fund. Change the disability rules BACK to what they were in 1991 and the problem will virtually disappear. But don't hold your breath for that to happen.

Listening to various talkers this week including Beck, the subject matter came up about these types of payments ( on Beck in terms of a flat payment to everybody that is being discussed by "leading edge thinkers" ) the name Milton Friedman came up.

I didn't know it, but he was in favor of eliminating all these programs and giving you the cash total, but you had to apply and it was a yes or no whether you met the criteria or not. I can't imagine the criteria today would be Friedman or Reaganesque in it's liberty based philosophy. My G-d it gets worse every day don't it, everything they touch gets more fubar'd and sanfu'd as they go with no reset in site...

I’m afraid 2016 is our last chance to avoid a second American Civil War. If the Hildabeast or someone of her ilk is elected, it will be full speed ahead on waste like this until the money, and the ability to borrow money, totally runs out. Once that happens, the war will start.

And without an major alteration in course, I doubt that point is very many years away.
