Well gol danged, John... We agree on one thing. Public assistence was never intended to likft anyone out of poverty...

But it should or it is self-defeating... It;s like a doctor who knows that you need 100 MG's of a particular medicine in order to be cutred and perscribe's 50 MG's?...

Let me ask you if you were to be shown that erradicating poverty is cost effective, would you support it?
