text: should they just kill off the welfare program, and let the chips fall where they may? are you tired of hearing about people that are on this or that or somesuch other benefit thing that don't really need it? would swinging the budget axe on about 80% of that sort out the issue pretty quickly? i'm inclined to agree. the welfare state is not being used the way it was intended, and i for one get fed up with watching someone on food stamps buy steaks with my tax money while i budget and buy chicken and ground beef so i can afford to put gas in the car.
