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. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *Tom 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 oz, watching the temp drop......- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - 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. |
