Excellent, Gaijin. Good idea. I know there are instances where programs have not had the intended effect. Failures are important to look at and understand.

And while we're extending invitations, I can show you some programs here that are not failures. For example, we pluck 'disadvantaged' kids out of the gutter, teach them language and hygiene and social skills, and prepare them for apprenticeship programs. Some of these kids, who were headed for death or prison, are journeymen now and building roads, bridges and homes for others while owning homes themselves and saving for their kids' college. And so you see, it is with this knowledge that I read opinions like the one above. Opinions that social programs are morally and fiscally imprudent. I VIGOROUSLY disagree with that self-serving and greedy conclusion. It is simple, convenient and........treacherous. Not to mention inaccurate.
