I'm glad we have a safety net. I think a person who works for 20 years, pays his taxes, contributes to the community deserves a little temporary help if he loses his job. We need to work to ensure it doesn't become a safety hammock though. That's the problem.

I don't listen to Rush, fwiw. And I agree totally with what you said here. Entitlements should be a safety net, not a way of life. Do you know how many people could be employed if our government would ease restrictions on mining coal and drilling for oil? You talk about shovel ready jobs.
