well, I would expect as most new systems you tweek what doesn't work well and get rid of what doesn't work at all. Business principals I assume. The problem with most government programs is we start them, underfund them, and use poor oversight to manage them. We changed Welfare(a massive program), it functions quite well now. Our military is the greatest in the history of the world. Its not an accident. But any new program needs to be funded, paid for and managed from the get go.

Lew, welfare is NOT working well. It is still just as "gamed" as it ever was. I truly don't know what it will take to clean that travesty up. It is so far off in the ditch, it's about hopeless. Too many people depend on it now.

The welfare system has no regulation on need v. want, nor protection against abuse. I wouldn't call that working well. However the infrastructure for the system is well established and seems to be rather efficient.

Point taken. She DOES make me throw up in my mouth a little, however. Sorry.

You called the First Lady a cow too. I liked Mrs. Bush. Never drug her into it.
