hell, Giles. My one exchange with David got you enough material for a string
of posts. I suppose, at the root of it, I should neither be surprised that
Dave will stretch the truth, or make suppositions, to make some supposed
political point. It's probably my mistake to bother pointing them out..
Still, little in these sorts of exchanges irks me more than the old chestnut
of, "The Poor like being poor and getting handouts. It's a lifestyle
choice." More patent bull**** cannot be slung, and yet, so many seemingly
otherwise decent people entertain themselves(or assuage their dwindling
consciences) with this very notion.

What a crock of ****, Littleton. *Get off your high horse and do
something besides talk liberal ****. *Get out there. *Meet and serve
those less fortunate than you. *Many of the men and women I meet two or
three times a week at the pantry *are* satisfied with their lives, or
at least do not complain about their lot in life. *Thanks to your
savior Obama, the unemployment rolls are getting higher, and more and
more people are using any services they can find. *These people are NOT
happy. *They are down right discouraged, and VERY ANGRY at the fools in
Washington. *But the street person who hasn't worked in gawdknowswhen,
you know the one that smells and hasn't bathed in awhile, seems
content. *He/she is good natured, quick to be your friend, and is more
than overjoyed for anything you can do for him/her. *Ya ever hugged
someone like that, Tom? *Ever shake their hand? *You probably couldn't
without wanting to wash their filth off of you. *You are the one that
is pathetic, Tom. *You hide behind your politics saying to yourself, "I
voted for The Man, The Big O. *He'll fix everything. *I don't have to
look at, serve, or touch these unwashed people. *Obama will do it for
me." *Horse puckies.


Get out and do it yourself, Tom. *Biden, your hero (who makes Dan
Quayle look like a genius) ...


Interesting you should bring him up. *Regardless of the gotcha games
aimed at DQ, he was respected, by one and all, as a senator. *His
primary accomplishment in Congress, the Job Training and Partnership
Act (JTPA) probably did more for unemployed and underemployed people
in this nation than any federal program since the GI Bill. *It also
created many of the thousands of technically qualified workers at
exactly the time they were needed.

But........that doesn't fit with the late nite wisdom one sees on TV.

cheers

I found interesting your comments about DQ and JTPA. Yes, DQ did have
allot to do with employment and training legislation and policy. I
never particularly liked him but he does deserve credit for that.
Thats the Republican party before the whackjobs knawed thru their
straight jackets and pushed radical ideology over stewardship of
resources and good governance..

Not that many years ago Republicans could pair with Democrats to
produce programs with both high cost effectiveness and opportunity for
occupational upward mobility. Republican leadership understood then
what investment in skill training did to make real the promise of free
labor markets for working people. IMHO, Capitalism seems to work
better in a democracy when more and more working people have a real
stake in future economic success.
