Yeah, well go visit my sister-in-law. She's been living off government straight for four years and off and on the prior five. She receives SS Child Disability money (her daughter is NOT disabled) and spends it on frivolous things for herself, not for her daughter. She is a smart woman, healthy and educated, but she's lazy and finds living off the backs of others to be just fine. She's proud of it, actually. She thinks it's a game -- a challenge to exploit the system and she's gotten very good at it. And she just glistens when Obama and Reid and Pelosi talk of implementing new or expanding existing programs. Quite honestly, I get very upset when I talk about this. She is everything that is wrong in American society. There is so much fraud in Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security, unemployment, disability, etc. that if you ever cleaned those programs out we'd be swimming in money and be able to care for the remaining truly needy. But as long as we continue to make these programs readily available, decently generous in what they will give you, and remain completely ambivalent of the fraud and waste that exists then this will never happen. In a nut shell, we need to cut spending across the board, flesh out the fraud and waste, and reduce the scope and size of government *dramatically*. Get the Federal Government back to it's roll as defined by the constitution and little more.
