Darn right.

There is a deep question that I often ponder, essentially it's this...do those who control the Democratic party at the national level, intentionally support policies that cripple those at the bottom? No one can deny that these liberal welfare programs, and liberal programs that give financial incentives for teenage girls to have kids and stay single, fail. These programs are killing the poor. Yet liberals keep supporting the same programs. So the question again is, is that intentional? Is it by design? Or do they genuinely believe they are helping these people the best way possible, despite tons of empirical evidence?
