   I can make no defense here. You are correct. There are MANY on state aid
  who could be activelly employed. There is a system that they understand and
  exploit. A month or so ago when a discussion was raging over Social 
  Security reform this was a point I was trying to make. Don't punish those
  who are out there paying into the system by raising age limits so high
  they'll DIE before they ever are elidgable or cut benefits for them. Get
  rid of the ABUSE! For some reason government would rather PUNISH those who
  are out there doing the RIGHT thing rather than those who ARE NOT!

   On educational aid, I highly agree. I can think of nothing more noble than
  helping a young person get a good start in life with a good education. It
  also serves the national good. This was one area our president chose to cut
  to fund the war.

   You could make a argument on jobs here, what we have lost over seas, but
  there are those that wouldn't work no matter what.
