What would you say about Bush?

Yeah, read this - written by a "mechanical engineer" writing in an "alternative" Canadian online thingy. It's Matt Drudge grasping at straws. Doesn't prove anything.

Did you say "engineer"

The facts are that the majority of welfare recipients in the US are unwed white/Caucasian mothers. The old saw about the "Welfare Cadillac" went out around the same time platform shoes and pimp-mobiles did in the '70s... ...especially since the '94 and later Contract On America Repig Congresses and Pres. Clinton eviscerated the programs with their welfare reforms.

Let's not forget also Der Chimpenfuhrer's recent cutting of Food Stamps, the Home Energy Assistance Program [HEAP], and most every type of funding that the Fed provided to benefit needy people.


Yes - the US for instance.

The aim of big corporations is to separate fools from their money all of the time and ordinary folks from their money most of the time. The rest of us must fend for ourselves.

I guess der Chimpenfuhrer has the outlook that you gotta look out for the "rich guys" every once in a while Can I get an amen
No seriously, its no fun punishing the poor unless, that is, you are a Republican

this is a policy to which he has held up his part of the bargain, to wit, "no billionaire left behind".

back in the times described of the welfare caddies, a friend of mine who had friends in the position of recieving welfare, told me one boasted, "i got a brand new eldorado and it didn't cost me a dime".

fact is, i was once in the positon of receiving assistance, today, i am a business and homeowner who rides a new pro level road bike ...on occasion ferried about in a range rover.

welfare is largely an emotional issue, when it comes to justification for political affiliation, as the slice of the taxpayer pie pales in comparison to military spending. upon examination, much of this military spending is not for defense of the nation at all, but is in nature, offensive (invasive), outdated (air-to-air craft & missles)
half-baked (space missile shield) criminal in the humanitarian impact, esp. for innocent civilians (cluster bombs, fuel/air bombs, depleted uranium radioactive bombs) and nuclear menace oriented.

the gravy-train high bid contracts awarded to bush family and friends is money diverted from the true defensive capability of the us, and many with military experience and savvy (neither of which bush or his usual suspects can claim)
are losing their reluctance to speak out, and bring this to the attention of the voting public.
