If you want food, go to the chow hall. Shoes? Go to the clothing warehouse. Report for work at 0730.
And before anybody calls me some kind of fascist I am simply suggesting a new CCC. Libs love themselves some New Deal so here you go.

I am happy that you are in a very small minority.JohnStOnge wrote:Well, he's certainly not talking about me as I certainly AM in favor of eliminating all social welfare programs. If I had my way there would be no programs designed to ensure some minimum level of well being for individuals.
But I'll say that I do realize that there are plenty of people who claim they are for minimal government yet won't go there. Like the Tea Party. I've seen polls on what people in the Tea Party movement would do and not do. Like for instance they would not eliminate the Social Security system.
Don't tell me you're really for going back to original Constitutional principles if you're not in favor of eliminating the Social Security system because you're not.

The flip side of the argument.No, you can't. Occupy Wall Streeters are by definition histrionic wackjobs.And you can be a liberal while being a rational, level headed Occupy Wall Streeter.![]()
