I know that I feel that the entire welfare program is poorly run, and that a lot of poeple are getting money, MY MONEY, that they don't deserve. Unfortunately, all those welfare reciepients [sic?] are voters, and there sure are a lot of them. What politician in his/her right mind would do anything to risk losing that vote? Why do you think there have been so few welfare reforms in the past? (By the way, I'm using `welfare' genericly.) Marla S. Baer !ssc-vax!marla
