Just one more quick comment...I took a peek at your profile and see that you have arthritis.The hospital for which I worked is considered to be the world's leading hospital for the treatment of arthritis...along with many other things (it's in Boston).As a result I know how disabling arthritis can be,having seen it up close and personal.So *you*,IMO,are one of the people who I'd support getting government help if you needed it.We shouldn't *eliminate* various welfare programs...just restrict them to those who really need and deserve them.

Only a welfare scammer (or a politician) could argue with that logic. At present, the system is functioning largely as a taxpayer funded cash transfer from the "ruling class" to the "leisure class". Deadbeats, scammers and illegals (including Muslim terrorists such as the Tsarnaevs) shouldn't be swilling from the public trough, period.

Btw, that woman having the elective surgery on her private parts at taxpayer expense is just plain gross. The way the state squeezes hard-working taxpayers (including young kids working part-time to save for school, and families struggling to put bread on the table) for every possible penny and wastes it in such noxious ways is utterly immoral.
