I don't for a minute believe that our debt is the result of taking care of the truly poor and needy.
It's the result of wasteful pork spending. It's the result of mismanagement. It's the result of not taking steps to mitigate a second oil price spike. And it's the result of stupid trade policies with communist countries that have lowered the import tariffs that our founding fathers put in place to where they are almost non-existent.
And I don't think you can balance the books by letting the poor die, because that's going to bring God's judgement on the country. And no amount of deregulation or detaxation is going to help us then.

Well if that was all we were having to take care of fine, but we also have 39 million who can afford health care but chose not too. When does that stop? These people probably could not pay 3 dollars and if I was there I would have paid for their child to continue the care, but the debt is just going to get worse and worse unless EVERYONE stops with their pet projects.
