again, i don't believe welfare or other such social programs should be abolished. but i do believe they are in some serious need of reform. do you agree with me on that?
Sure, but the amount of preaching in here by the conservative contingent amounts to a collective cry for abolishment.
The biggest problem with social programs is the potential for people to plunge themselves further and further into debt in spite of those programs. Maybe if it were tied into their credit ratings more, that would help. But then you have businesses which specialize in high risk credit. As long as there's a buck to be made off of one demographic or another, companies are going to do what they can to make that buck.
If you have some sort of improvement in mind, us utopian-society-wanting liberals are more than willing to hear about it.
