That is the concept, not my opinion. I agree but when forced humanitarianism is how you describe it...the majority would disagree with that terminology. This is the linear democracy that we are in. I think that it becomes an all or nothing situation...
Whats bull shit are these old zombies in Washington like Nancy Palosi and Harry Reid who have been in office for so long that they are too powerful to lose elections. Our framers overlooked the need for term lengths in the constitution.
There are term limits for presidents....but you are right, the Constitution is increasingly obsolete.
The 22nd amendment was amended to the constitution in 1951. (Not set up by our framers) What I'm saying is we need to amend the 22nd amendment.
That was my logic about freshmen as well. The sustainability I can't say, but we do waste a lot in certain areas but I think with some budget changes we could make a good start. I am weary of uncontrolled military spending and corporate welfare. Just out of curiosity, do you know why these forms of government spending don't get the heat that some of the others do?
Obama has cut military spending quite a bit. Corporate welfare is how politicians get their campaign contributions. Politicians often accept donations from defense contractors in exchange for more funding. It also creates jobs, but not the kind that create wealth. Same thing with public unions. Every "jobs plan" obama has ever came up with is more teachers and rebuilding infrastructure, because thats where the unions are at.
So you are completely ok with all the injustice as long as it is against other PEOPLE... LOL!!!
I suppose the issue is the public scrutiny that disability, ebt, and welfare programs receive from the right is everywhere yet these other types of spending seem like non-issues almost. Tax is tax right? I just don't see a fair interpretation of wasteful spending in this regard. Just for disclosure I am on disability, and the people who I get shit from never bring up these other issues. Basically, the politicians and unions are in bed together but why the people too? How does this get ignored systematically?
I hear this point made often and know the distinction between a right and a privilege. The corporate welfare is not a right, military overspending is not either but are given a blank check and nobody says anything. My perspective is food, shelter, and health are human rights. It is a priveledge to live in a society that is abundant and can help out a bit. It boils down to need, and privilege becoming a right. This is my view, and I know the details of why it is an issue....but economically and politically the ignorance of bloated spending on other areas are not in line with the platform of the right. It is confounding...that's all. The logic does not explain it, it's big govt.
You know Buck, you could do a weekly thread just like this. There will never be a shortage of material.
