Brutal Realities

If we are at all honest with ourselves, we know the following hard truths: many of the "poor" aren't poor, many of the "disabled" aren't disabled, many of those benefiting from government handouts don't deserve or need them. Victor Davis Hanson has written for National Review Online a trenchant article on this uncomfortable subject.

Hanson's essential point is that the current budget/deficit/debt ceiling crunch is forcing us to examine government largess that has gone on for decades. It is largess we can no longer afford. Read what he has written.
