we have been here for years. the reality is they don t want those kind of subsidies haneleded over in small and minimal percentage to those who deserve it the most. welfare exists in this country. it s not rich, the relaty and for the well-healed and for the deeply entrenched and for the well-established but those who are left to their own devices are those who are subjected to the most vicious forms of, if you will, socialism for real because they get cast out on the bounty of the american public common will and that is drying up. there is an evaporation of compassion and investment in those who are vulnerable. when i hear this the gospel that stands against the great figure named jesus who stood on behalf of the poor. david? final word. i can t beat the sermon we just heard. nobody could. but i think there is another point here too. and that is the president has to keep convincing, not just americans, but even members of his own party.
