Re: The purpose of the criminal justice system
Foobs, you're quite rigth about the inadequacies of our justice system but you're wrong about welfare promoting poverty. The purpose of welfare was to help children and the person taking care of them so that there would be a parent actually taking care of the kids. Now that welfare has been diminished to practically close to elimination, poverty ...

UNDESERVED PRAISE IS WORSE THEN NONE AT ALL
IF Obama were a man of honor (big if) he would have automatically declined the ''Honor'' without so much as a hesitation. The fact he didn't speaks volumes. Now the REAL issue. Who got paid off, at what price for this obviously RIGGED award? A man with NO track record shouldn't have even been on the LONG list let alone the short one. If this ...

California is too bit to go bankrupt. In addition to cutting welfare and health services to the poor California will need Federal Aid. Lots of it.

Conservative areas are the welfare cases
There wasn’t any real welfare reform in the 90’s. The wanna-be rugged individualist he-men manly-men that whine about welfare queens conveniently forget that they still mostly come from moocher States like Talibama, Montana, Alaska etc. that get more back in $ from the federal gubment than they contribute. It is states like ...

on the dole?
For the posters on this thread who don't know: you cannot get welfare for more than 2 years, so being ''on the dole'' isn't all what it's cut out to be (even when it wasn't limited to 2 years....)

Corporate Welfare For Able-Bodied, Working Corporations
This isn't ''welfare'' as only conservative Republicans would define it--i.e. any means-tested assistance. This is welfare as everyone would define it--cash assistance to able-bodied single mothers (or fathers) who may or may not be working, as in the old, despised AFDC program. Better to use the money (and more) to create public jobs*** for ...

welfare decrease
As states have been given more latitude to discourage welfare applications it is suprising than anyone is getting it anymore.

Thanks for Researching This, Rather Than Healthy Family Life
The complete and inane turpitude of every aspect of American life and attitudes and values continues to astonish me, over time. I would guess that no American living today under the age of 20 or 30 knows or can conceive of the Great American Family as I experienced it, along with so many other Americans, in the 1950s and 1960s here in America. I ...

The E.R.Conundrum
It does take a genius to suggest that each e.R. should by law have an adjunct primary care set-up. During the eight hour wait that you cite, maybe a patient who does not rally need the full monty can be examined, given two aspirin and sent away.
