Who I may NEVER ask about how to overhaul Welfare

During the Clinton and Bush administrations there were radical changes to the Welfare System in the USA. Much of it was a Welfare to Work program. It did pretty well.

There was much debate on it while it was under consideration.

What there wasn't was policy makers going to the southside or westside of Chicago or inner city Milwaukee and asking residences there what was wrong with the welfare system at that time.

When a few asked, they said, "It's fine. There's no problem. Everything as it should be. Ain't broke, don't fix it."

Another group that wasn't inquired of were the very very wealthy. They weren't even aware of the problem. And since they were pretty well insulated at that time offshore it didn't matter to them.

Only the people who had skin in the game, taxpayers, were able to see what needed to be done and they backed local and national government at repairing a system that those who were on it didn't see as broken.

That's why when anyone on socialized medicine (medicare), has more than 70% of their health insurance paid for by someone else or just flies alone in the dark without insurance and has an opinion, I politely ignore them as I would have ignored a welfare queen or king from 95th street south in Chicago on the needed reform of the welfare system back then.

I'm not interested in your distorted opinion. You have no skin in the game.

Those who qualify to have an opinion are those who employ others and pay for others insurance premiums, those who buy their own insurance on the open market and those who for reasons unknown are UNINSURED and face bankruptcy in the case of any medical needs of magnitude.

They know the system is broken and in need of repair. The rest live in a matrix insulated from reality. As long as someone else is paying the bill they refuse to see any problem.

Thanks for your opinion, but first I want to know if you qualify for anyone to give your opinion any weight whatsoever.

I AM NOT IN FAVOR OF BARACK OBAMA'S HEALTHCARE DEBACLE. I AM IN FAVOR OF AN OVERHAUL OF A DYSFUNCTIONAL SYSTEM THAT IS COLLAPSING. HOW THAT IS DONE WILL TAKE LEADERSHIP WHICH ON THE RIGHT WE DO NOT NOW HAVE.

That's my point. But first, how about some qualified opinions.
