Welfare refers to financial or other forms of public -- government -- assistance to people in need. Welfare also means health, happiness, well-being. For many years, welfare programs grew out of a belief that government has a responsibility to meet the needs of the least of these in our society -- needs that the private sector was unwilling or unable to meet adequately.Matthew 25:31-46 offers a framework for the kinds of social welfare enacted in the United States and many other nations -- food to the hungry, health care to the sick, water to the thirsty, welcome to the stranger, clothing to the naked, presence with the imprisoned, shelter to the homeless.
Corporate welfare describes financial or other form of government assistance to a corporation provided free or at a below-market rate. Unlike social welfare, it is rarely need-based.Much of U.S. corporate-welfare policy is embedded in the tax code, which supports certain corporate actions over others through tax expenditures,...

What to eat, to what to wear, and when and how handle democracy? Could another form of goverment be better suited for such people? I think we can not bring democracy to anyone. They need to realize and choose it, and make it happen from within. When enough people get convinced that that's what they want they can make it happen. We can not bring it to them

THat was personalizing its retirement program like Bush Had suggested. Now it appears that all the baby Boomers are retiring and we will be forced to do something with SSI.

WHat are your ideas to try to save SSI and how do you feel knowing that your money that was earmarked for your retirement was stolen and spent on other programs?

In the private sector that is illegal and I think it is acataully illegal in the Governmental sector.


So what do you think?

Some blanket arguments against having a woman president include:

America would be perceived as militarily weak.
Did you ever think this could be an advantage?
Read "The Art of War".

How about: Women aren't rational.
And the last 2 Presidents were?

The question asked should be "Who will do the best job"?

As long as you cling to a preconcieved ideal or model, rather than assessing a candidate on their merits, you will be shooting yourselves in the foot. And by the way, your country is in a crisis right now.

Personally I think that if you assessed candidates on their merits, you would hear very different rhetoric, if not have an entirely different lineup.

Here's my premise: They're either wrong in their thinking if they are demonstrative and seem to possess a plan of any sort -- too Hollywood, too corporate, the wrong religion, the wrong past, the wrong special interests back them, they back the wrong politicians currently in office -- or they are hollow placeholder men who would keep the seat warm in the Oval Office for their respective party without contributing anything of value to our esteem in the world or our national leadership.

Do many of you agree? (And please, don't throw "that's why I'm a Libertarian" at me. Libertarians are, by definition, people who lose elections in America, no more no less, and they can't get past that block.)
