Allston, I can’t tell you how helpful your comment was to me. I have lived on the edge of these situations most of my life but have always hesitated to condemn the system completely for the same point you made, obviously there are clearly some people who truely do need the help. What we are really talking about here is a much broader issue of a failure to have the so called management in our Governments at all levels actually act in a responsile way to the taxpayers. It is often the legislatures that compound the problem by teeing up the various social welfare programs as money pots for various groups of lawyers and others who can game the system to their own advantage. Thanks for taking the time to comment and especially thank you for your service to our country.
