I like to call people stupid. Then when things don't work out the way they think they will I look smart.

Your generally a reasonable moderate Dem while AH usually comes off as a loon. For a change he makes sense hence the reason to actually encourage his otherwise unusual behavior.Originally posted by Oerdin

Sorry, I don't post here that much anymore. Your thread titles must not have been as eye-catching as this one. Then again, the fact that AH was criticizing liberals might have been what caught my eye.Originally posted by Oerdin

Yeah... and Dems like to keep the masses in a cycle of endless welfare checks, knowing it will breed more Dems...

Welfare checks are the very smallest portion of the welfare state
It only gets picked on because programs for disenfranchised people are always easy to pick on
The total amount of money spent on welfare programs don't even come close to the gargantuan amount of money spent on social security and unemployment benefits, which are basically handouts in the same spirit of what you are criticising, and the biggest drain of money in the whole welfare system.
But these benefits will never be touched. Why? Because the middle class and older generations have political muscle.

Well, let's face it. Clinton didn't do a damn thing after '94 besides welfare reform. That's an easy way not to alienate people.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891Comment

Republicans talked about but Clinton most certainly stole that issue from them. The population identified that success with Clinton and not with Congress.Originally posted by Harry Tuttle

I agree, but I still say it was Congress that made it an issue. Clinton, for all his philandering, did do some good.Originally posted by Oerdin

I never said it wasn't wise to first do no harm with regard to the economy. He was just a caretaker president (not altogether a bad thing).I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter.

Clinton did do the very centrist thing called balancing the budget. Admirably the economy had more to do with that then anything but Clinton did become the head budget disciplinarian who refused to raise spending much faster then inflation. That is a MAJOR accomplishment in my book even if W ruined eight years of budget work in six month.Originally posted by DanS
