Quite frankly.. I think the "invention" of the social safety net to help catch those falling thru the cracks of the excesses of capitalism is a marvellous thing that was created.. whether liberals are to take credit for creating the notion.. or stealng the idea from the socialists in the 1800s and modifying it to suit their ideology is up for debate.. but I think that without this program.. a lot more people would be in trouble when economies take a downturn (ie the Great Depression). Conservatives arent great for everything my friend... it was "conservatives" who didnt wish for slavery to end.. or for the Civil Rights Movement to succeed.. or apartheid to end in South Africa... or for perestroika to fail in the Soviet Union. Conservatives it has been shown thru history tend to root for the status quo.. to prevent what they feel threatens the society they live in..(or in the case of recent US history, for the special interests they represent) often to the very detriment of the society they claim to want to protect.
