Into believing that welfare is the reason for the fiscal cliff. If you are gonna spout, try educating yourselves first.

Yes, along with the expansion of the commerce clause.

I don't recall anyone stating welfare is the reason for the fiscal cliff...nice strawman.

They never do educate themselves. If they did then they wouldn't be Republicans.

Agreed.

Welfare is the reason Obama was reelected and nothing will be done to rein in spending.

Nice facts you posted to back up your spout....

Even though the fiscal cliff is not because of handouts....the people who abuse entitlements do not care to inform themselves of what is going on. They figure, it's not them...so why should they care?

And it's still a problem from a values standpoint... It does nothing but disincentivize people on the dole.
