aren’t you a flaming lib that wants big govt.? if you libs get what you want, there will only be MORE paperwork, red tape & bullshit.

I believe in the social safety net, and if you want to apply for those benefits, naturally you should be able to prove that you need them, even though getting those benefits has generally been made more complicated than it has to be.  However, the nightmare I had over with my ID last year was due in large part to the Patriot Act, which was not a flaming lib creation, even though most of them were spineless enough to vote for it lest they be seen as “soft on terror”.

Generally, the only thing I agree with conservatives on is the need for less paperwork in our lives.  It’s just that they tend to conflate that with the need to get rid of Social Security and Medicare.
