Did anyone read Ezra Klein's post? http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/ezra-klein/post/democrats-will-lose-now-but-they-can-win-later/2011/07/11/gIQARfWOlI_blog.html

It's literally the only thing I've read in the past month that gave me any hope.

What slays me the most, aside from all the obvious candidates, is how essentially stupid the whole argument is. It's been proven time and time again that many of the social safety net programs SAVE MORE MONEY IN THE LONG RUN THAN THEY COST. Ugh. Stupid AND blind.
