You should have better things to spend your welfare dollars on. BTW, What happened to the winger adage about telling the poor how to solve their problems? "Just make more money!! Then demand a tax cut !!", right? All problems have simple answers. See how simple it all is when you really look at it? "Who can refute a sneer?" William Paley --Moral Philosophy -- Cliff |

Um, Gummer ...... last I looked it was alive & well. Something like 1/3 of the world's population, if not more, as a matter of fact, depending on how you count things. Medical care for those that cannot pay in advance, just as one example, is Communism. "To each according to their need", right?

Right!
The only answers worth considering are big, complex, government sponsored answers. Send money to the government, let them administer it, let them choose the contractors, let them choose who qualifies, watch them squander it. |

Umm, George W. Bush, ** NAVAL ** aviator? Umm, wasn't he in the AIR National Guard? Wasn't it his FATHER George H. W. Bush that was the naval aviator in WW II? I sure HOPE that one carrier landing, which I'm sure he was only riding along on, doesn't make him a naval aviator! Jon |

That is not true. 2+2 is a problem with a "simple, easy, obvious" answer that is not "completely, totally, horrifically wrong." Some people do suggest "answer(s) that (are) simple, easy, obvious... and completely, totally, horrifically wrong" for some complex problems that do indeed require complicated, hard, and not at all obvious answers. But some problems do have "simple, easy, obvious" answers, that you might not like. -- Robert Sturgeon Summum ius summa inuria. http://www.vistech.net/users/rsturge/ |
