Welfare and Social Security are good ideas in principle, but they are absolute disasters in the form that they are being used in the US right now.
Stoneburg, we are forced to have the biggest military budget in the history of civilization even if we didnt want to....because someone has to defend the world from maniacs and nobody else will do it.
Everyone has a problem with our military but nobody has a problem with us sending billions of dollars all over the world to help other countries. If we stopped doing that, we could feed, house and give free medical care to our entire country...then we could sit over here on our big island and ignore the rest of you......kind of like most of YOU do now.
Maybe if we didnt have to come over there during 2 world wars and save Europe from the maniacs of that time, it wouldnt have set the precedant of us always having to come to everyone elses rescue (admittedly even when some people apparently dont want it). But, you guys dont spend the money to defend yourselves and dont have the heart to do it, so the big boys over here have to. It must be nice to know your big cousin will always come to your rescue and his expense and you can save your money for socialized medicine.
