Social program - a detailed outline of state activity which follows and implements a specific social welfare policy. A social program outlines the funds to be spent and the purposes for which they will be spent.
Just like a lot of those New Deal programs FDR implemented.
Yet a welfare policy is not an employment policy... soldiers are employees... not social program recipients... your lazy bum welfare junkies are the social program recipients
sorry, You Are Incorrect. Bennies To The Retired Military Is A Social Program. Choke On It.
No, They Are Not....choke On That!
Wow, you lower-cased my name.
I'm sobbing now.
Sorry, you are incorrect. Bennies to the retired military is a social program. Choke on it.
That's cause they got no game and they know it.
What I'm finding amusing is watching libertarians trying to differentitate military medince from socialized medicine, or for that matter, trying to explain why the military isn't a form of socialism.
A government TAKES TAXES from people. Uses those taxes for the military and that's not another example of socialism how, exactly?
No wonder they want to change the subject.
They want the socialism they want, and that they call okay.
The socialism they don't like they damn.
stubborn little lib....
comprehension must be so hard for you
just like in the private sector... you obtain benefits from employment... many benefits come from prolonged employment for a company/employer... those many times include retirement bennies such as healthcare, pension, etc...
they are not receiving something for nothing... they are receiving compensation for providing a service as an employee...
with a social program, employment and/or service is not a requirement
All social programs, stubborn little rightie?
Again... employment is not a social program... it is payment for services rendered... social programs of no employment requirement for receipt of the benefit... I.E. not earned
big difference
Dance libertopians dance!
Either socialism is a specific thing with a clearly understood definition, or it's not.
Since we have whining crybabies complaining about social security, and calling that welfare, I have no problem pointing out that the military is (according to their twisted definition of things, at least ) also funded though their definition of socialism.
It appears we have a number of people whose whole careers were serving the socialist machine, and who are now on socialist military retired welfare complianing that somebody else (doesn't matter who, really, these people's anger is nondifferentiated) is ALSO getting a check from the government.
Oh boo-hoo-hoo cry me an Ayn Rand river
People on Social securuity paid into the system AND paid your socialist military salaries while they were doing it, you big fat whining objectivist babies.
Get over it.
You mean like the WPA? Or welfare to work?
Stubborn little rightie...
I think it goes deeper than that. The right sees national defense as the one legitimate duty of government. They don't care if it bankrupts us. They don't care whether soldiers are cared for when they come back since they're supposed to pull themselves up by their bootstraps in a John Wayne kind of way. But they don't see it in the same light as other government provided services.
...
Soldiers are employees? I didn't realize that. Doesn't change the premise that their bennies are a social program.
What the heck do you think soldiers are?
It may not change YOUR premise that their bennies are a social program but is sure shoots a great big gaping hole in that premise as far as I'm concerned. But then we have had this discussion already, haven't we!
Not sure, but most employees don't have to swear to uphold the constitution.
I've no idea why DD is beating this subject to death.
