It's a delusion. If they really cared about the poor, welfare would have been set up as a job training/education program to help them get off of poverty and a better life. Plus, the dems in congress tend to be very wealthy themselves and do nothing to stop the trust fund shelters where they have their own money stored. If you think they care, why haven't they fixed social security? Why did the government start spending it the second year it existed and with FDR's approval? Social security is a bunch of pieces of paper you could print off of your computer. It's not real and doesn't exist. It's all been spent. My own pension was taken from me and I was forced into social security to help keep it afloat a little while longer. The civil service pension is gone, and so is the railroad pension.
