[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry, Republican, but you are the epitome of the compassionate conservative who just doesn't understand this very basic distinguishing factor. As you've stated, you are happy to help those you deem worthy of assistance, but I suspect you aren't a fan of eradicating homelessness and poverty by [b]expanding the safety net[/b]. That's the real difference. And if you say you are in favor of eradicating homelessness and poverty, then you are voting for the wrong party. [/quote]

The safety net [i][b]has[/b][/i] been expanded.  Has this ended homelessness and poverty?  
Just one example:

The government is not the answer to ending poverty and homelessness.  Seems as if expanding the safety net has only expanded the problem.  [/quote]

I wonder if there was some significant economic event that happened around 2006 that might have caused lots of people to lose their jobs and need food assistance.[/quote]

I wonder if there was some event which happened in late 2008 which caused the rate of handouts to be increased dramatically?

Handouts which, by the way have not increased opportunity, self reliance or allowed people to make it on their own.

Poverty is not solved by giving away hard earned money - it is solved by rewarding risk which then creates opportunity.

So you're just political trolling now?  Snooze. [/quote]
