Re: The Current Events Thread

People are so healthy now that welfare loses more cheddar than is put in. I uh, don't understand this line at all. Shouldn't it be the other way around? healthy as in they don't die, not as in they are work capable. (not saying that's bad, but it hurts the program under it's current structure) infl...
