    Heard today that 40 million Americans are currently on food stamps and 50 million are on Medicaid.

    Nice work, Mr. President. Perhaps another round of golf?

    Another of the unintended, but very unfortunate, consequences of misguided government intervention....in an effort to ease the burden on a few, they have multiplied the few into the many and disadvantaged future generations in the process.....
