I dont believe there is anything wrong with a social security net..
The problem lies with all the new feminist pork programs, that no-one is held responseable for.. that is draining all the taxpayers money, and leaveing the real problems without proper funding.
Alot of the feminist pork programs in the social services sector are not about solveing social problems..but the unspoken goal is for more porky type jobs for middle class white women.
