> It amazes me how you can be so discerning between welfare and food stamps, but so blindly relate 'make work' govenment programs to professionals employed by government. Nice double standard you have there.
And, how you evoke 'discernment and caring' to characterize your positon and 'misconceptions and ignorance' to characterize positions of those who disagree with you. Very arrogant, but typical of leftists in general. It's always 'for the children.' The facts concerning poverty and literacy rates, the results of the 'Great Society' spending, etc... , you counter with Ad Homen attacks. If 'self righteousness' is your standard your views may be more religious than you realize.
