Reiches entitlement programs are bandaids & arguably keep people entrapped in their status quo. Why get a job when medicaid provides free health care with no co-pays or deductibles, & when unemployment checks require no work.
besides, we have the best equipped poor in the history of the world. They got cell phones, HDTV & can get to any library/starbucks, access the web & educate themselves.
when the national debt becomes unmanageable within the next 30 years, it will be hard to blame republicans when the dems been fighting for decades not to bring the spending side under control.
Obama wants the debt ceiling raised with no spending concessions. Hows that the fault of the "corporate war on the poor?"
