If so, it's fair to assume your a pedophile and rapist. It has about as much to do with nothing as you flame bait comment. :shrug:
What's not fair about it? Democrats and liberal support groups continue to push programs such as Food Stamps, Welfare, TANF, SNAP, Head Start, SSI, Public Housing Assistance, extended unemployment insurance, WIC, Social Housing Services... and that's just at the federal level. The best welfare program? A JOB. Yet, it's my opinion that overwhelmingly the Democratic and Liberal perspective is to aid those less fortunate which could be seen as a very noble social gesture - in fact it's creating a dependency. I realize that Republicans and Conservatives also support social programs and I myself see benefits to some of these for those who are in temporary need. The key "temporary". Expansion and extension of such benefits are a band aid - what's needed are job training programs and placement programs, not way to live off the system.
What should they do indeed. As I've stated, a certain amount of help should be available - but ultimately people have to plan for disaster themselves instead of relying on social programs. Medicaid is a good thing for a short while. Food stamps can get people over a rough patch, temporarily. Perhaps instead of raising taxes on the rich, liberals may consider an optional "philanthropy" where trusts can be opened where money is distributed to those in who really need it. We need better programs, more targeted at getting people up and working again, retrained and able to benefit society - not more dependent people looking for an extended handout.
What it needs is moderation and common sense.
And what cause is that?
Family. The church. Philanthropy, or better yet, programs will not simply hand out government cheese but retrain and re-equip the poor to be reintroduced to working society. In my opinion there are too many handouts with cries of "oh but the poor children!" It's better to get them fed, get mom or dad or whomever working again to support themselves and their children. Federal Government help and State/ Local help is extensive - even dare I say "vast". Creating new generations of dependent people who will vote for whomever extends their handouts is not a good societal benefit, but it surely is a good political benefit for the political party that increases the government cheese.
I don't really mind, Jerry has his view and I have mine. Overall I'd rather see less poor, less dependency and more people contributing to society, paying taxes and providing for their children than getting bigger and more vast quantities of handouts by any government agency. We address the handout's in spades, we don't address getting these people back onto their feet to provide for themselves.

Folks, many of you have wandered far astray of the actual topic, and many are bordering on personal attacks. Let's keep it at least somewhat topical, and please refrain from ad-homs and excessive personal snarkiness.
