Where do you get that from or are you talking about what Obama has done the last 3 years

That seems pretty fair to me, and it makes sense in my opinion.
No sense in helping people who don't want to help themselves.

Well then how would you propose to fund those programs?
Or would you not have a problem with simply allowing poor people to starve out in the streets?

Or, is it the way the funding is allocated that you don't like?
What would you rather have that money be spent on?
Would you rather it be spent on employing people?

Create a job market. Right now the government is stopping job growth with Obamacare and over regulation

So you would rather the money that is being spent on welfare and food stamps went to directly employing people to work instead??

Also, how is "Obamacare" stopping job growth?
What over regulation is stopping job growth?

No, if you get people working they will not need the entitlements.

If you get China to have workers' rights so that American workers can compete with Chinese slave labor, then there'd be more people with jobs.

If we go back to tariffs on imports it will level the playing field.

I think the best thing to do would be to not let corporations exploit slave labor.

China is not my concern. Getting this countries economy back on track is. Tariffs and spending cuts could help balance the budget and lower the deficit.

Yes, that would make this country's economy skyrocket. But obviously most rightists would not be in support of that and would consider it a violation of big-time corporation owners' rights.

???

Wait, do you mean yes? I agree that if you get people working they will not need the entitlements, but,
do you think it would be better if welfare and food stamp funds were spent on employing people instead?
It seems like you do, but since you wrote no, its kinda hard to tell.
