When do we focus on the 3.4 BILLION dollars we spend annually in RI on social services and entitlements? These programs are rife with fraud and waste and a mere annual 20% reduction of 680 million dollars would dwarf the savings acheived in your glorious pension reform. The fact remains that pensions were only about 5% of this states overall budget but was 100% of the discussion and blindly, made to be 100% of the problem by folks like yourself.

Something needed to be done with pensions to prevent an astronomical balloning but the real crisis is the wealth redistribustion machine we call the Dept. of Human Services. These programs help a lot of good people who need it, but they are FULL of fraudsters as well.
