How is going to create democrats? The people that get the welfare are democrats already. The people paying for the welfare aren't interested in socialism.

New welfare applications will be denied. That means no new dependency. So this is good because it means no new democrats.

Unfortunately you’re wrong. More than a few FReepers have announced the loss of their sole means of support over the past few years.
Lord knows I know far too many conservatives who have been forced to the government trough. If it weren’t for the fact that I don’t have kids to think about I probably would be.

ordering a halt to processing November applications until a deal is reached to end the federal standstill. That means they know a deal is being made. The R's will cave.
They're all more interested in keeping their jobs than protecting our country.

I damn sure ain't going to turn liberal because my personal financial situation is crap.

You are correct but some freepers don’t realize that through fortunate situation or even just luck.
