You are prbly right for the most part. I know zero or almost zero on this board agrees with me, but i think the entitlement problem is a touch overstated and don't think that it is as abused as some would make it out to be. (Like the drug test results being lower than the national average even though some people will still claim that people on welfare are all on drugs.)

Either way, it does need some reform and i don't think too many would disagree with that.

They disagree with you for a reason. Come to Baton Rouge. You will see fraud like you never believed was possible. It's so easy. I know so many people who do it. They live so easy. Working hard and paying taxes really is a sucker's bet.

The problem here, is this is a regional issue. Your profile says you are in Miami... perhaps it is not bad out there. It's terrible in Louisiana. It wasn't nearly as bad in Houston. I have this discussion with northerners all the time. There may not be welfare queens up there, but there certainly are here.
