So, basically, he's asking us to name one government program that's worked, but mentioning any government program disqualifies?

It's getting increasingly hard to wrap my head around this guy's stupidity. So, why would any program that relies on taxes not count as a success? Except that it makes it so he doesn't have to respond, since he's set it so that defeat is impossible by design?

When you read headdesk as headsex...

You know your head's in the right place Big Grin
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day

And if there was a knothole in that plank, either phrase works!
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
