So your contention is Americans are too stupid to keep THEMSELVES out of poverty? If so, maybe everyone should be a ward of the state. It is a highly successful program for making dependents, I'll give you that.

How did you determine that? Is it determined with the total administrative cost? How much did the congressmen who worked on it, working on it and will work on it cost in time?

Good selling point. Got a magic wand to make those adjustments?
