The big and long term picture here is to get people off welfare and onto the tax rolls.
Precisely...."W" is making this into an opportunity to go from welfare to work....It worked in Indiana and it will work in LA too.
how?
more money?
how long term?
maybe you are young and don't remember?
our culture was better off financially overall in urban areas and black crime and illegitimacy were much lower prior to the last great giveaway back in the 60s.
and so were our schools.
throwing money at something broke is more tomfoolery.
besides rebuilding the destroyed infrastructure and homes for folks displaced and who have lost everything...what do folks here expect?
That GW is gonna end poverty and cure the urban poor's ills by platitudes and more tax dollars and talk of minority set asides?
I cannot believe so many freepers buy that.
Emotive reasoning calling itself conservative realism.
