TDF, who can't love a guy who has Archie Bunker as his avatar?

I agree that everyone shouldn't be lumped in together. Almost all social service programs need to be overhauled so they can work the way they were initially meant to be. Unfortunately, politicians don't want to upset the apple cart and lose out on a very large demographic of voters. The more people who rely on the government, the better for the politicians. They can use the social service programs as leverage to get elected or stay in office.

And did you notice that I used the general term "politicians" instead of "Democrats" which is what I was really thinking? I must be getting swept up in the whole new administration and all the CHANGE it's going to bring!

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio
