We've spent $trillions since the 60's and have little to show for it, and no one ever wants to try anything else. Anyone that even suggests something different is labeled a hater. That's all I have to say about that.
Many of the people who want to eliminate or significantly alter government programs addressing poverty and expanding opportunities for the poor are motivated by dislike of the poor and/or minorities, are ideological opposed to government taking that role and/or have a financial interest in a privatized alternative. That is why their proposed alternative "solutions" to poverty are not trusted by those with genuine concern for the people at the bottom.
The above is so general as to be completely meaningless. All government activity involves "giving away other people's money to other people."
And BTW, solving problems isn't an either/or deal. Lots of solutions make things less worse, but are still much better than nothing.
Meaningless to you, but someone else responded just fine so don't worry about it.
Because it was what you wanted to hear. :roll:
Some of those are valid reasons, but that's not even the point I was making. Liberals will never improve the programs that fail, just put more and more money into them.
Then, American the Conservative, name one liberal program that has failed .
For me, Affirmative Action comes to mind , IMO, this has NOT failed.

I dont know if this helps but about half the people I shoot with would describe themselves as 'liberals'
If you consider some of those valid reasons, it proves my point that the people who want to cut benefits can not be trusted.
I support genuinely making these programs more effective and few other people, liberal or not, have a problem with that. However, many politicians have a vested interest in maintaining the status quo due to support and donations from those who benefit from it. That is not ideological and can be seen throughout the political spectrum.
