Lots of great points here. In my opinion, we need to keep illegals out of the country, as they are a drain on our economic system, we need to put criminals in jail and keep them there, and we need to use our social service programs for what they were originally developed and intended for. Welfare is supposed to help people who are having a tough time get back on their feet. It's not a lifestyle meant to keep people from having to work and contribute to society by paying taxes. People should be forced to at least work part-time if they want to live off of everybody elses money. There are plenty of jobs available out there and most people who are on welfare could qualify for one. One of the great things about about this country is that you have an opportunity to better yourself. If you have to take a crappy job, you can work hard and move up to something better. Also, people have to be smart about their own finances. DON'T SPEND WHAT YOU DON'T HAVE AND DON'T BUY WHAT YOU CANNOT AFFORD. While I'm at it, parents should not let their children leave the house dressed as hoodlums (sorry, but that just drives me nuts). And I think Raven put it best... a little civility and manners would go a long way in making this country a better place to live. All that being said, I would not want to live anywhere else. The U.S.A is still the best country in the world. And there is some pretty good fishing, to boot.
