Well sure if your only goal is to throw money into the economy, I suppose food stamps are as good as anything. You will never convince me though that welfare programs are good for either the people receiving them or those paying for them. Nor are they good for America as we are just borrowing that money from tomorrow - from our kids to pay for it. You think it is immoral not to dish out welfare - I think it is immoral to borrow from our kids when they have no say in it.

I want a strong America - an America where we build things and compete in the world markets. Where working people proudly come home with a check they earn and support their families - we are just going to have to differ on this Paul. I will respect your opinion, but I can not agree with it.
