By By Tiara Fuller • August 20, 2007

I hate the United States welfare program. Over the past couple of decades, the United States has spent billions of dollars-our hard-earned dollars-on entitlement programs that are ruining our country and doing little to actually reduce poverty.

In 1997, Sheryl Crow came out with the single "A Change Would Do You Good." This song isn't likely a favorite of Runnin' Utes head coach Jim Boylen or any of his players, but the U men's basketball team has taken this notion to the extreme during the last two weeks.
