Speaking of freaked out creepy liars, I'm listening to a program in NPR available on the internet with guests Irwin Garfinkel and Sherri Heller. Irwin Garfinkel is the guy who is more responsible for the current child support system than anyone else. He imported the Wisconsin Model from Soviet Russia. According to him, Wisconsin is like heaven for fathers. The percent of income formula and all the trimmings is the fairest thing humans ever invented. Sherri Heller from OCSE says it's great that the federal government is arresting and prosecuting wealthy fathers as a display of government power. The purpose is to intimidate everyone, and that's a good thing -- for the children.

I'm sure you have a point here.......

He imported the Wisconsin Model from Soviet Russia.

IE, anything the commies came up with just has to be bad.

According to him, Wisconsin is like heaven for fathers.

Believe it or not, it's not as bad & you seem to want to portray it and it's getting even better for fathers as time goes by. Now ask yourself why.

The percent of income formula and all the trimmings is the fairest thing humans ever invented.

There's more to it & I bet you know it. So tell me Rog, what are the other statistics for the state of Wisconsin? Statistics you ask? *Statistics* she responds. What percentage of Wisconsin fathers pay 100% of formula? What percentage of fathers have primary placement?

Sherri Heller from OCSE says it's great that the federal government is arresting and prosecuting wealthy fathers as a display of government power.

As opposed to allowing them to be scofflaws? *Wealthy* Rodge, not the poor saps who are just getting by, the wealthy, those who can afford to help support their kids, but consider themselves above doing that.

The purpose is to intimidate everyone, and that's a good thing -- for the children.

Was that a quote or your spin?
