The Partisan Divide on Issues

Try that here.

Reasonable for the Danes.  They are not trying to be the world’s policeman.  They can afford to be helpful to their own people.

But I was more interested in getting something from Classic other than reporting on his own ignorance and bias.  Stopping welfare abuse is not one of my big issues.  It is just rather than announcing what is wrong, how would he go about fixing it?  After decades of trying to cut domestic spending, I would have thought that angle would have been pursued by the reds about as far as it could go.
