Yes sadly, many approve of this form of theft because they think it will "help" people?

Fair enough. Require contracts for welfare recipients. Problem solved.

Quite possible. Feel free to look it up.

I never said conservatives were innocent, but I'd rather see my tax dollars spent bombing some third-world nation for oil interests than giving money to an irresponsible person to use irresponsibly. But hey, I'm kooky like that.

I would be willing to wager that "conservatives" don't rack up unnecessary debt as much as liberals. Not that I classify him as such, but the most recent anecdotal evidence would be Bush. Want to compare him to Obama for 2 minutes? I bet I come out on top.

Well, by definition, conservatives should be in less debt than liberals. Conservatives, if they adhere to their roots, are fiscally "cheap" people so they should be saving and not spending. I know I am a libertarian, far right of a typical conservative, and the only debt I have is my house. Otherwise, at the age of 31, I outright own 2 vehicles, one a Mercedes, a motorcycle, a boat, a trailer (not a boat trailer), a 22hp brand new hydrostatic riding mower and 3 computers. My house should be paid off in 5-10 years, and I just closed on it at the end of July. I have more in savings than most people making 3 times as much as I do. I eat free lunches (food given to me by others, not sucking off of a gov't tit) and very cheap dinners. I never eat breakfast. Give me a 10 dollar bill and I'll eat for a week.

But I work my ass off for a living.

Wish I could eat that cheap. I tend to drop a ten-spot when I go to Arby's for lunch.

I suck at fiscal responsibility when it comes to grub.
