figured you were not up to comprehending the point i was making
here's a clue. i am typing it slowly, so keep up:
many who benefit from government assistance do so thru no fault of their own. they may be too young, too feeble, too sick, too mentally challenged, too whatever to pay their own way. yet you ignore them and their plight when you fashion the most simplistic solution to allow them to feed/clothe/house themselves ... by building a new stretch of I-85 between spartanburg and greenville. as if that would be something the very young, the very old, and the very infirm would be able to do. your "solution" could only be found workable by simple minds
In all fairness, I don't think that anyone, of any political leaning or any party affiliation, objects to providing benefits and income to the profoundly handicapped. Of course there might be a few exceptions, but I ignore those people as they are basically wackos.
My perception of human nature is that most people are capable of doing valuable work, even most people on welfare, and we should focus on having enough jobs which pay well enough for them to survive, rather than focusing on handouts for the capable.
It would be interesting to poll welfare slackers, asking them if they would prefer a job making a decent income over continuing to get free money from the government. I bet that most of them would take the job.
