FM..I am continually amazed at the shallowness of the liberal thinking that almost never reasons out the unexpected consequences of their "causes". Only one case in point..but illustrative..we, who were paying taxes in the 60's and 70's paid large amounts for the Great Society building of very nice apartment buildings in the inner city area of many large cities. The impoverished were given free, or nearly free rent, besides the food stamps and social security checks they received. 20 years later those same buildings were being torn down because the few that were still livable (other buildings had plumbing, wiring, etc stolen, and all sorts of vandalism).....those few were breeding grounds for drugs and crime.

I wish that many of the liberal ideas could be put to a ballot referundum. Those who wanted to pay for those social improvements, if they could be called that, would be free to do so.......but the entire mass of taxpayers would not be so obligated. I know that's not going to happen, because part of the liberal thought is that Washington is needed to TELL people everywhere what they NEED. Sheesh..what a system.
