The New Deal was a good deal.
You call it national security - I call it a burning good money.
You do know how much health insurance costs , right ?
I know people with good jobs and kids and with mortgage payments, property taxes, utilities etc. there is not much left over.
Imagine what it is like for those without good jobs or family help.
And then a kid gets sick.
There is no excuse for a country as rich as ours to waste so much money on "national security" and then claim to have none to waste on the poor.
Prove to me the poor are all irresponsible and I might understand what you are saying.
Prove to me that those people that are uneducated are the result only of their not taking advantage of what they are offered and I would understand.
