I would have voted for Colin Powell in a heartbeat.

I was thinkig the same thing, Colin kicks ass. Although I would not have done away with welfare, but rather augmented the poilcies and provisions of it.

Some people make simple bad decisions that put them in a financial bind, but try hard to do better and get back on their feet. Others ride the freaking welfare wave and are lazy as hell!

It should be sort of like the HOPE scholarship, fall below a certain set of standards/goals/guidelines and take it away!
