Chris Matthews viewpoint became meaningless to me when he professed his leg to be "tingling" 4 years ago. I think the tingling is between his ears. On another note, the more people who can become ensnared by government givaways, the less chance of our country ever recovering from the damage done by the fools. The best example I can think of, is the guys I work with whos hours got cut back a few years ago. Where I cut back on expenses and sold some stuff here and there, they went to wherever you go and GOT PUT ON FOOD STAMPS. Now 2-3 years later, they don't know what they'd do without their 250-400 in free food every month. These are people who have 2 incomes in their household. The government signed them right up. They know not to speak the words "EBT Card" around me. Pisses me off thinking about it now. J
