One of my main arguments with the Obama team is though, to me, they are acting like they have some kind of mandate to change the basic social safety net WITHOUT DEBATING IT. Ouch!. You should back that up. So far as I've read the House version, their version made provisions to take care of the expected growth in the need for unemployment insurance and health care. So that's not changing the contract; simply trying to take care of the increase already there (state's are having a hard time on these scores already) and throwing a chip or two in the direction of the expected increase in unemployment. So what's new in this bill? What creates some new feature of the welfare state? See, you can do this stuff without using all caps.
