What is easy is to just pick one element of the problem and try to beat the opposition over the head with that. That doesn't get us anywhere though IMHO. I'm inclined to agree Problem is we can't agree on what the problem is You are transfixed with the issues of allocating crumbs on the bottom, unemployment, welfare, food stamps, Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, minimum wage, ACA...etc ...and beating the opposition, in the instant case, one who believes that by far the more significant problem is the greed and income inequality at the other end of the spectrum, with a litany of criticisms concerning programs designed for folks at the survival level of the economic spectrum These issues are simply irrelevant to me ...and no amount of massaging them is going to make a dent in repairing the economic holacaust that we are hurtling toward because folks refuse to look at the real problems damaging our economy as the dialogue is orchestrated to avoid those issues while focusing on the stuff you continue to talk about
