oh the poor, let’s pick on them, it’s so much fun to pretend we are so different from them You can’t believe how many people start down this well worn path and I have shut them down with just the same arguments Wolfie has expressed. Wolfie is right, foreign aid, corporate and farm subsidies, non-performing federal agencies is what we need to shut down over the course of 18 years.

And if those “welfare workers” hate and despise and resent their clients so much they should find another job and let people who actually want to assist the hapless do the job.

The real problem is not federal agencies that don't perform. Its a bloated government that is trying to do too much. The second point is that some agencies are doing exactly what they were designed to do (I.e.) destroy the family, free markets, private enterprise and our spiritual life...And you don't need 18 yrs...I think you could cull them in 18 weeks...or less

>>oh the poor, let’s pick on them<<

I have a poor niece.
She is living with her boyfriend who is a Community College teacher.

She has a daughter. The daughter receives free breakfasts and lunches. All their healthcare is paid for (the niece has a gastric by-pass scheduled) and they receive cash assistance while the niece refuses to even look for a job.

They have cable (I can’t afford it)
They have nice phones and cars.

Is this the poor you are speaking of?

Apparently you haven’t been listening to Professor Gingrich. We are supposed to offer people a free choice of better foreign aid, corporate and farm subsidies, non-performing federal agencies.

Get with the program, okay? /s

I don't have to pretend.

I spent years in school, studying hard stuff.

Calculus, differential equations, stuff like that.

Spent years after that, going to bed early, no Midnight Basketball, getting up in the morning and going to work.

On a regular basis.

That's why I'm not poor.

Most of that should be gone in 18 months, imho.
