#1 ...Soup kitchens and bread lines seem out of place in this affluent country long known for its generous welfare system, administered until recently by generations of socialist-leaning governments.

#4 ... and I ain't talkin 'bout foolz an their money being parted soon-like either. Illegal immigrants? They are only illegal if laws are passed that say they are... and only become a problem when them there laws are not enforced. If the laws are not enforced then perhaps it was the ones that cobbled together them not-enforced laws that are just as big of the problem. Will + capability = action
