We need to move away from community-organized social welfare setting to a more business organized entrepreneur setting.
Do you know that of the $3.6 trillion that the govt spends less than $500B is used for expenses other than debt service, defense, medicare,medicaid, and social security? And that expenditures on defense are almost $900B?
So do you propose that old people starve on the streets of the USA? While military defense contractors grow fat dumb and happy?
Taking care of senior citizens isnt welfare. Its the obligation of any decent society to take care of its aged and in the USA if one hasnt worked for a living one doesnt get medicare or social security.
You all babble about welfare but welfare accounts for less than 1% of the expenditures. Medicaid is use dmainly by senior citizens on long term care and by working poor who lack access to health insurance.
Why dont you look over the border to see that Canada treats its people properly, has a healthier economy than we do and certainly doesnt have our budget deficits.
