Government sucks at social issues. Name one social program that's worked over the long haul. Social Security? It's broke. Medicaid? If it's working, then why do we need to fix the health care system? But they've been in place decades. I thought back then government was going to fix those problems? I thought we'd be a paradise...like Cuba.

The only governments that can pull off socialism are the governments of small, less diverse countries that still embrace private ownership and capitalism. Once a government starts handing out free money, interest groups get laws made that put more of that money in their hands. It's human nature.

Let the big folks who don't pay taxes (the churches, unions, non-profit groups, clubs and organizations) stand up to the plate and start doing the job of caring for those who need it. Give big tax breaks to folks who fund such groups, and close the tax loopholes. Those are the groups who can do an effective job, they won't be as encumbered by bureaucrats and partisan nepotism ("Heck of a job, Brownie"). For God's sake, for the sake of the unfortunate folk who need it, please, don't let government do it...they'll screw it up.


All the Best,

You've got to know your limitations. I don't know what your limitations are. I found out what mine were when I was twelve. I found out that there weren't too many limitations, if I did it my way. -Johnny Cash
