I can't see them *ever* even attempting the most minimal cuts in welfare. Those receiving welfare are a large part of their core constituency. <br /><br />Keep up the outstanding work!

I don't always know why we bloggers do what we do, but I'm glad we do it.<br /><br />Your blog has been hugely valuable in re-educating individuals one by one toward the truth of the welfare state.

It also provides facts and thoughtful analysis to the blogosphere where too often it's endless opinion and abuse without analysis. You set the standard.
