I think that this test-driven mentality that we have in the country has been a disservice to most of us.

I am more than a little frustrated that we seem to have an inability to accept some of the successes.

First, I would observe that while spending on safety net programs is high now it is largely the function of the economic downturn.

I think it would be better if we tried to take the programs that work, try and refine them.
