>Expecting that ANY welfare program can be killed is no more realistic than hoping SS collapses.
They pulled off a major overhaul of welfare back in the 90s under a Democratic president. That proves you are utterly wrong. Welfare is not popular, and nobody likes subsidizing freeloaders. Social Security lives on in its hallowed state because it is still seen as a universal social insurance (which it is not, it’s a ponzi scheme, which means welfare for the present paid for by the future).
>Either way we’re screwed.
We can keep going as we are and be guaranteed to be screwed or we can try and stop the train wreck. Complaining about not getting money which you think you have a right to, yet doesn’t bloody exists doesn’t really put you on the solutions side of the equation.
>At least my way I go down with the ship values intact.
Yes, you can die along with the economy and nation feeling good about yourself. Wonderful.
Tell me which welfare program Clinton & congress "killed" and I'll happily admit I was off base.
Otherwise I'll assume you're just blowing smoke.
