Very odd bunch the "conservatives" are.. One thing they aren't, is consistent..

I'm one of the biggest anti welfare people you'd ever meet. I hate that we just give able-bodied people money for nothing in this country.
However, I do believe in offering a hand up.. not a hand out. In other words.. temporary assistance rather than making it a way of life.
The liberals in this country celebrate getting people onto the government dole. Yet they offer no solutions to get them off the government dole.
I would be all for welfare if instead of just handing people money, it offered temporary relief while at the same time offered and encouraged government sponsored job skills training so these people can get better jobs and therefore not need welfare in the first place.
But the problem is.. the democrats WANT people on welfare. The more the merrier. Dependent people are easier to control. AND it creates a steady voting base for their side.
