Today we just have a giant gimme gimme "culture" that has spun out of control.

It is these people who make up Mr. Obama's base.
The people in the great depression got no help from the Government until President Hoover (unless you
count soup lines) came along. His motto was "A hand up, not a hand out". Whats wrong with that type
of thinking ? The Hoover dam, Forest Service, Conservation Corps, ect. ect. They gave you a job to help
you up. Hard work for low pay ,but, you got to keep your self respect.

Clinton did the same thing, Why not now ?

The best way, IMHO, is to quickly adopt a libertarian economic policy:
It's simple. End ALL government welfare for individuals and business. End ALL bailouts and product subsidies.

Government should not pick winners and losers. Government should not redistribute wealth.

If I were King of the USA (instead of Obama), I would relocte said individual to the states of Kansas, Iowa, North Dakato, Texas and Missippi.
They would have to work off their debt to be granted access to the other states for the purpose of home ownership.
I would reward the most productive citizens by allowing them to live anywhere in California. Yes, California would be free of foreigners and illegal aliens crying for free everything. Those leeches would be working in meat packing plants in Garden city Kanasas or suffering brutal winters in the Dakotas.
I would relocate our tropical ciitizens who don't pay "their fair share" to enjoy steamy summers in texas.

Vote for Me!

And corporate bailouts and Farm aid and solar product subsidies, etc, etc.

Some on your list are not entitlement programs. For example, 529 is a tax deferred savings plan. No entitlement.

How do we get rid of the Wall street leeches, big oil leeches, big business leeches? They leech more from the middle class than any other group.

Wrong.. your so called leeches will just get their money from somewhere else probably in a fashion you will like even less than just giving them food stamps.

Oh joy what a wonderful country we'd have with you running it, and if you or some one in your family happened to lose their job you'd gleefully send them to your gas ovens?

Obamas direction for the country sounds infinitely more preferable..

Rather difficult to convince Americans it's wrong when the current occupant of the White House has leeching illegal relatives which are tolerated.

Maybe tomorrow he'll have been given his pink slip.
