  2. We're a nation of dependents, all right — dependent on rich corporations for jobs that pay a living wage

    Former Gov. Robert L. Ehrlich Jr. writes about "How the welfare state has grown" (April 7). But if the programs of the New Deal and the Great Society have been less than successful, it should be noted that the lack of funding from "big government" has been instrumental in causing these programs to crumble.

  3. Now on the table: Entitlements

    <em>At a Republican presidential debate in 2011, all eight candidates on the stage said they would reject a budget deal that raised taxes even if it had $10 of spending cuts for every dollar of tax increases. At Tuesday's protest, I put the reverse question to participants: Could they accept a dollar of cuts in Medicare and Social Security benefits for every $10 of increased taxes on corporations and the wealthy? All (the leaders) I asked said they would decline.</em>

  4. Michgan lawmakers far apart on cutting caseworkers

    LANSING, Mich. (AP) &mdash; Republican lawmakers on Tuesday approved vastly different plans to fund public assistance for the poor and protect children from abuse and neglect, with a House panel voting to cut more than 1,000 state jobs, or nearly 9 percent, from the Michigan agency that handles welfare, food stamps and foster care.

  5. Miffed with the Triangulator

    WASHINGTON -- Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont, red in the face, took off his jacket and rolled up a shirt sleeve -- but there was no relief from the discomfort of his affliction.

  7. Understanding the deep roots of entitlement woes

    Former Gov. Robert L. Ehrlich Jr.'s Sunday columns are usually thought-provoking, but not always in the way he intended. His latest opinion piece laments the vastly expanded entitlement economy &mdash; what he calls "a European-style welfare state" ("How the welfare state has grown," April 7). Although few objective observers would describe the U.S. social safety net that way, most people recognize that our current spending on these programs is not sustainable in the long term.

    The Road Warrior w/Dan Hartzell
