the homeless and impovrished need to learn how to help themselves, otherwise we will be giving handouts to them untill the end of time.
------------------------------------------
Not true. I paid more in taxes two years ago than I got in free money pell grants and GI bills all though college. Thank you uncle sam for caring.
they are quite capable of going out and improving their station in life, they can go get a job at wal mart or mcdonalds or even join the military.
------------------------------------
Some are some don't have the skills and need training in the basics like communication and working with others. (ever been to mc donalds?) I see no problem the governemnt setting up some program here.
we also do not need to be providing health care for the masses,
------------------------------------------------
Why not? Congress gets it, .mil get it and they have excellent care w/o middle men... even prisoners get it. As far as need there are millions of uninsured who I guess need it. make them scrub paint off the freeways for it.
we dont need a society full of people dependant on the government for any reason whatsoever.
------------------------------------------
Like the MIC? who refuses to recongnise no one is a threat and refuses to close any military bases to save money dispite cold war being over? Or the almost unemployed weapons labs folks visa vi stark treaties who now insist on mini-nukes? mic .is...to the tune of 600 Billon a year including, NASA, vet benies, and foreign aid. Get real I work there and we spend worse than welfare queens and are sure to spend every quarterly cent so no budget is cut ever. Who do you think is paying for this?
and there will always be some sort of strife that will keep our minds off of the issues here at home.
-------------------------------
Only ones we create. Why were we attacked? Why are we everywhere every other year? For 200 years we sat back as the city on the hill, an example to others for free-enterprise democracy and human rights not so sure anymore with this perpetual militarism. At least many forigners don't think so and we are making lots of enemies.. It's by design though.. cause it grows the MIC even more and governemnt control even more.
you have to secure the homeland first before you can start to improve it
-------------------------------------
We are secure it's only the insucure who think otherwise. We are conditioned to be scared of commis, muslims and other enemy of the week. We can annihilate anyone instantly therfore no one will invade. Its the only insurance we need now lets fix the real problems. As far as 9-11, we still have no investigation into it the really find the failures and fix the problem. Just a reaction which has destroyed two countries with zero answers but for the improvements we need to make on the next weapon systems due to failures in theatre. Sweet mo money.
