Cloward and Piven, 1960's radicals, may have more to do with today's "ideologies" than we might expect. I wonder why we continue to "trod down the dependency" path and down the "deficit" road in such a headstrong and determined manner (and have for 80+ years). What is the plan? Why don't we do what you and I, the street people, do and balance our books and live within our means? HMMMMM? In the terms of the Led Zeppelin song from Stairway to Heaven, "And it makes you wonder"!
