This is why I'm not in favor of government handouts in any area. Anytime you accept a dole from the government, you are opening the door for the government to meddle in your personal life.
Don't want the meddling? Don't take the check.
I don't understand why this is such a difficult concept for you. If you don't want the nanny interfering in your life, don't try to beg money out of nanny's pocket.
I don't understand why it's such a difficult concept for YOU to understand how it's an 80-degree slippery slope.
The idea that the government merely writing you a check means you accept its control over your life is entirely baffling to someone who truly understands and truly loves liberty.
One more time -- if you subsidize someone and they abuse it, they should lose the subsidy, not get commisars to watch their every move.
You guys really have no idea what you're saying.
