Absolutely, a compromise is absolutely logical as preventative maintenance and saving more in the long run. There are those who will scream and holler “not one dime period!”
Well those folks have never been in business and do not understand that logical investments up front save much much more in overhead over the long run.
IMO, the whole system basically needs to be abolished, but it can’t be cold turkey.
As part of accepting subsidies, there should be financial counseling to teach people how to budget, although from the attitude of most welfare recipients, they’ll pretend to go along with it, play the victim (they’re great actors) and then bad mouth those who are trying to help them and not make any changes.
The entitlement mentality among the welfare class is unbelievable.
