Your so called "news reports" which are more often than not exaggerations or flat out lies bloated with the opinions of anti-welfare demagogues probably number less than a percent of all cases. I can stick to the statistics. Why can't you? It is not my burden to disprove your case, it is your burden to prove yours. Do the right thing. Present a fair, complete statistical description and drop the unreliable anecdotes and biased opinions. If you can't make your case without stacking the deck you shouldn't be allowed to argue at all.
DeistPaladin, you are exactly right.
I've read that Democrats are considering a deal to extend the Bush tax cuts if the Republicans will extend unemployment benefits. Spending without revenue is unsound fiscal policy, but I can guarantee that Democrats will cave. Republicans can outlast us because they don't need tax cuts, but we do need unemployment benefits. I can also guarantee that Republicans are not going to accept any responsibility for the resulting debt and are going to blame Democrats.
