When you spend a tax dollar on a kid in the Navy, you are teaching that kid some valuable life skills. The kid learns to get up in the morning. The kid learns to clean himself up and be presentable. The kid learns to follow instructions. The kid learns to obey rules and laws. The kid learns what it takes to advance. The kid learns about being part of a team. The kid learns about setting and achieving goals. The kid learns the importance of training and education. The kid learns about sacrificing for the good of the crew.
The kid learns to be a good person and a good citizen.
Now, when you spend a dollar on welfare what do you get? What lessons are you teaching? Have more kids? Don’t try to achieve? Education and training aren’t important? Hard work doesn’t pay off? Do whatever you want? Kill anyone that ticks you off? Ignore reality by using drugs to escape.
The kid learns to be a Democrat.
Where should that dollar be spent?
Well said!
