when the "war on poverty" was started in 1964, welfare was 1.2 percent of the GDP. In 2008, it was 5 percent. The problem with any entitlement program is that it grows unchecked because the liberals play on emotion. How can anyone say no to a hungry child? If the proposal was $10 trillion, they'd call you a horrible human being for voting against it.
