asterism
Congress != Progress
My word, but you make a huge number of assumptions, asterism. Where have I said I wanted to increase the budget for social programs? Have I not said some are poorly designed and should be halted?
The debate is not about the existing federal budget....it's more philosophical. Should we, as members of this society, underwrite the cost of social programs for the poor? I say we should. You seem to be saying we should not.
Not true. I say we should and I do myself what I ask others to do. I do not think the government should be the entity providing this relief.
Okay. Now can you please explain why?
It's inefficient, rife with corruption, and ineffective.
