Welfare numbers are still dropping -- even with the economy sputtering... What does that say? It says conservative ideas work.

Any yet we are spending more on welfare programs (check the budget)...ironic isn't it?
In 1994, when the GOP took the House and Senate, we were bold enough to talk about shutting down the Department of Education and defunding the National Endowment of the Arts.
Now we control all three branches, and the top three priorities are a new cabinet level deparment, troop movements in the Middle East, and making permanent a tax rate cut that barely keeps pace with inflation, phased in over 10 years.
And that's just in 8 years.

The Socialists edifice represented by Federal programs in all areas continues its growth. While shrinking is some areas others expand. The net effect remains the same. Federal power grows. The federal budget grows ever larger. Corporate welfare/subsidies expand.
