If we did that then the 87,000 new IRS agents Dementia wants to hire wouldn't be nearly enough. I understand the point but the reason we have social safety nets in the first place is for the large percentage of our country not responsible enough to do the right thing.
IMO there is only one way to bring this spending under control, and that is to get everybody involved in it. When they passed the 1.7 trillion dollar pork bill, did anybody care? Outside of us who follow politics nobody did because it didn't affect their lives. It's just another day.
If that passage of the bill increased our consumption tax from five cents on the dollar to eight cents on the dollar, it would be a cold day in hell before the Democrats would ever take leadership again.
