You really believe that?

Absolutely!  Have you heard one democrat elected to office - EVEN ONE -ever even express one ounce of concern at the doubling of food stamp usage or the exponential growth of welfare? 

Dependency = Votes for the Democrats.

You really believe that?

Let's see:

- Poverty as near-record highs.

- Food stamp usage, up to nearly 50 million from 32 million

- Unemployment benefits, being given indefinitely, basically paying people to not work

- Encouraging illegal aliens to come over and putting them on the government dole.

- Blatant destruction of the nuclear family, encouraging more single motherhood, which leads to the aforementioned poverty and food stamp usage.

- ObamaCare

- Encouraging a mentality that people are entitled to other people's money.

That sounds like a welfare state to me.

Turning this country into a neo-socialist welfare state, like those falling to pieces in Europe.

The US has a debt larger than all of Europe combined so i dont understand your logic, care to explain?

So do you think prominent democrats sit in a rooms talking about how they can create this welfare state?

How does our current state compare to the definition of a welfare state?

None of these things occur overnight and certainly didn't happen in the last four years.  In the last 32 years we have had three Republican and two Democrats Presidents of the United States.  Republicans have been in collectively for 20 years and Democrats for 12.  The Republicans have the longest stretch of controlling the Presidency with twelve years.  The Democrats have had eight, roughly four of which were under a Republican controlled Congress.  Who's to blame for the current culture?  I'm not taking a side but clearly the Democrats aren't solely responsible for the problems.

Agreed, to a point.

The Dems' criticism about the Republicans' policies is that it leaves people to fend for themselves. But, that's how this country became great: People with the drive to do for self.

What the Democrats are promoting is indefinite government dependence, which is reflected in their policies.

I do - we need to make these people actually do something for the food in return. 

We need food depots where these people get bags of rice, beans, etc, not a credit card to buy pot crack booze and cigs

What is with you and food stamps? OF COURSE NOT!!

It seems you have difficulty with the concept of such being used TEMPORARILY, to help someone get back on his feet.

Exactly!! Back in the day, there were actual food stamps (coupons) and you couldn't buy non-food items with it. $1 food stamps were red; $5 stamps were blue; $10s were yellow.

So why does primarily red states not enforce this?

They are controlled by republicans.

But then your argument about Dem policies putting people on permanent welfare vs the republicans enforcing temporary welfare is BS infact its the other way around.

Or sell your food stamps to drug dealers. Used to know people that did that. Sell 500 dollars worth of food stamps for a 1/16th of Meth (which was about 120 bucks at the time).

Yep. Seen it with my own eyes. Take a group of young guys who live together and sling drugs, find a few single moms or whatever on welfare with a drug problem, next thing you know they are eating pretty much whatever they want sold in the supermarket for a quarter of the price.

I bet you're scared of fat, mickey mouse t-shirt wearing, scooter riding, meth whores.

I know I am. You're never quite sure if they're going to rape you or try to run you over with their rascals.

The only time I see bitches riding rascals is when they are visiting The Grand Canyon on the infomercials...I'd just kick their old asses off the side of the cliff!
