The "they should write a check" argument is childish. Using that logic, anyone who is against abortion should have to adopt an unwanted child. Anyone who supports war should have to fight it and on and on.
Here's an analogy for the "they can write a check" folks:
Two people go to a restaurant for dinner. They both order the same thing. When the server brings the check, it comes to $100 ($50 each). One guy says it was the best meal ever, easily worth $50. The other guy agrees but doesn't think it was worth $50. Should the guy that thinks it wasn't overpriced have to pick up the difference for the guy that did?
No, but he should pay what he said he thinks he should pay.
The problem is, if you order from a resturant, you agreed to a price before you got the food. We never agreed to most of what government does to waste our money.
Most of what government does does not waste our money. Yes, there is some waste in government, but government itself is not a waste of money.
