Ed; if you believe that the lady with 14 children is the poster child for a welfare system running amuck That's not what I am saying at all. Of course I realize this is not typical. What I am arguing is that even in its extreme some people defend it. I want a safety net for those people who need it - but not as a way of life. ........That we need to address and debate this issue on its own. I give up. I believe liberal democrats who support this extreme cases of welfare are not being pragmatic. I think you will govern for just two short years and be creamed in the next election if you defend and expand welfare. I am one of loudest supporters of Obama - but as I hear John talk this morning, I'm ready to go back to the republican party. Increasing welfare payments is NOT what Obama promised and it is NOT what I voted for. steve
