Really? I thought that the present crisis was created by those who strongly advocated getting rid of Social Security, or at the very least moving it towards a privatized basis - given the recent tanking of the market can you imagine what that would have done to the basic retirement system? Please specifically list how covering a portion of a 60 year old disabled man's medical care has destroyed the financial system. Or helping 4 mentally handicapped adults live independent lives has put the financial system at work? Now lets compare that to the complex mortgage based securities system and how that has taken down some of the larger financial companies, and potentially the economy. so what is worse, the corporate welfare system that has existed for the last 10 years or so or the personal welfare system that's existed for the last 70 or so years. In your comparison here, look at the number of people that have been lifted from poverty, survived beyond childhood or who have owned their own homes. Lets also consider which system has allowed small groups to get extremely wealthy over the backs of the rest of the country. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:292530 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
