Those are "social programs"? Come on, lets at least be intellectually honest!
Spending by the Republican Congress has been simply out of control. Period. They hand out social programs, they hand highway pork, they hand out corporate welfare, they hand out individual tax cuts, you name it, they hand it out if it means a vote. They show not even an inclination to control spending, no proposals, no plans, no sunset laws, nothing, that might endanger a vote they already have. Myself, I tend to be fiscally conservative and socially liberal. I own a small business and used to appreciate the Republican's sense of fiscaol responsibility. Never in a million years did I think the reason I would end up voting for a Democrat would be to restore fiscal responsibility to the Congresss.

It depends on the business. When we had some sense of national direction, like when the space program was in full swing, for instance. But now there is no accountability on who is getting what. Its no-bid contracts at Halliburton
and shady deals at Boeing. The whole relationship between business and government currently stinks like bad fish.
