I found this picture on Neal Boortz's website this morning:
It's a great picture of what really happens when the government "provides" welfare. I am all for personal charity; I am not at all for government charity. People don't understand freedom anymore, much less the concept of natural consequences. Of course, that's good news for Hillary, Obama, Edwards and their fellow Democrats.
Actually, the Republicans aren't squeaky clean on this one; President Bush hasn't found a spending bill he hasn't loved, and the only spending increase he vetoed in 2007 was the one raising the spending on poor kids' health care. Don't get me wrong - he should have vetoed it. But he should have vetoed all the other spending increases, too.
Oh, well.
On that happy note, have a great Wednesday.
That poster looks like the work of Despair, Inc. (http://www.despair.com/lithographs.html).

As a fellow Republican it saddens me to say that when Bush took office the national debt was $5.6 trillion and today it is $9.2 trillion. Best estimates indicate that each U.S. citizen now owes about $30,000... so much for fiscally conservative.
