That is generally right wing jargon. Yes people take advantage of programs, but we don't really know how to deal with a lot of this stuff and we must error on the side of helping people. We can't leave some 85 year old arthritic women to die of poverty.

All of this social planning is pretty new to the human species. But I can guarantee you there are no answers on the right!

To be honest, the more we educate people the less social problems we will have. Education will solve the majority of the social problems and much of the rest is figuring out new social thoeories and then there is the human condition.

Nothing we can do about the human condition. It is the X variable.

<<When it comes to economics, some liberal ideas are every bit as destructive as some right wing ideas. For example, some Great Society programs to help the poor have resulted in the virtual disintegration of poor families and brought about terrible suffering to the people they were supposed to help. The liberal mentality of throwing money at social problems have many times terrible unintended consequences. And liberals are just as stubborn as right wingers in refusing to acknowledge fault in some of their ideas, even after overwhelming evidence -- much like global warming deniers.
