[QUOTE="refineryworker05, post: 3360291, member: 66082"] This litany of rationalizations is meaningless. No other government programs do we make contingent on whether we like the people in the government program. If a student gets a pell grant to go to college, we don’t care if the student underage drinks, or that a lot of those students do drugs, or date rape other students, or cheat on tests. We don’t say hey a lot of bad peopl participate in the pell grant program we should cut it or I’m upset about the immorality of these students. Why should we help all students who qualify for pell grants pay for college, we should only help the good ones who aren’t cheating the system. If you own a home and claim the mortgage interest deduction again we don’t care if you are an alcholic, if you verbally abuse your spouse and children, we don’t care if you even cheat on your taxes or speed. We don’t say a lot of bad people claim the home mortgage interest deduction and I’m upset about their immoral behavior why should we help all home owners. We should only help the “good ones”.
