I will give credit for impressive use of the bold function.
If you're referring to another chart somebody posted somewhere, I haven't seen it, I haven't checked the source and therefore won't comment on it
Regardless of the fact The Weekly Standard "attributes" their data to a legitimate source, they need to define what "welfare" is, instead of purposely opting not to, so that they can call any spending they don't like "welfare" in order to bolster their partisan ideals. Again: the CBO doesn't call any of its spending "welfare". TWS needs to explain how it reached its conclusions; otherwise, we have no reason to believe them. This is called "the burden of proof".
Stick around a bit, I think I'm going to tutor you pretty well.
