We (and This Includes You, Democrats) Have Blown a Huge Hole in the Safety Net

39. Excellent post

Unfortunately that's the way it too often works. I've lived in a state that wanted to have a constitutional convention to address some of its constitutions shortcomings several times. In the end nothing was done because there are special interest groups who would take the opportunity to hijack the convention, and you'd end up with a nightmare, you all know which groups I'm referring to I'm sure.

I realize there is massive fraud in the welfare system the way it is now, but I guess I'd rather have my tax dollars still go to these programs, and maybe find a way to make them more effective. The alternative plan the republicans are down with is using my money to bomb some third world country back into the Stone Age. I know I'm not ok with that.
