I'm afraid you're terribly misinformed, and since you seemed to completely misunderstand what the GP said, your ignorance is understandable. You might want to practice paying attention when you read.
Ad-hominem with no substance. Bravo.
I read what he posted, and I am asking how a system which pays party A with the wages of party B is not entitlement. Its taking money from the public treasury. That's the very definition of entitlement and feeling entitled. In some cases its even OK if party B agrees and party A has a true need. I see too much of the opposite.
You missed PWORA, didn't you? Just to clue you in, welfare is no longer an entitlement. TANF is time-limited, 2 years in a row, 5 years lifetime. The 8% who are collecting unemployment aren't unemployed because they're lazy, they're unemployed because there aren't enough jobs.
I didn't miss it, I just have not seen it work.
PWORA might be a noble goal, forcing people to get out of the welfare cycle, but so far I've not seen it work. The local area where I live has thousands of jobs, but business has a hard time finding anyone to take them. There would be even more work if not for excessive taxation and regulation which especially hurt the small business that used to be the backbone of America.
LINK? You would let children and the elderly go hungry? What kind of fucking monster are you???
Medicaid? Just let a heart attack victim die? Again, your views are horrible and monstrous, and I sincerely hope you give some thought to your sociopathic political views.
Those are your words. I never suggested allowing a heart attack victim die or any such thing. I said that we should not help people who refuse to work or try at all to help themselves. Personally I think it is monstrous to create a system we can't afford and cripple out ability to help people, and destroy the foundations of our country.
Nope, it's because of the useless middleman, the insurance companies, both health and malpractice. Get the government to take over for the insurance companies like civilized countries do, and outlaw malpractice insurance so if a doctor amputates the wrong leg, the settolement comes out of his pocket. I'd be fine with fewer doctors if the ones who left the field were the ones being sued into bankruptcy court; I don't want an incompetent doctor cutting on ME.
So replace one middleman with another? Let the government decide who is competent even though it demonstrates it can't do that already? You can outlaw malpractice issues without going to a system that no one has been able to show we can afford.
