Not killing babies doesn’t mean nanny state. Why do you piggyback entitlements with not killing babies?
Are you stupid or just lying?
I looked at the post that you replied to and no where did I mention killing babies. You, are the liar. Or maybe it is you who is stupid for being illiterate.
If you are referring to another post I made to another person then I was referencing their penchant for their hysterical posting tactics. Much like yourself.
There is no way to separate social and fiscal policy. Everything is both. Deciding to have and pay for a good national defense is both a fiscal and social issue. Nationalized health care is both social and fiscal policy. Welfare is both a social and fiscal issue.
Everything is both because there are always moral reasons behind fiscal decisions. Whatever those moral reasons and policies are, are the societal justifications for expending government funds.
Even the concept of bringing down the debt by refinancing, is not a purely economic reason, there are good moral reasons most people recognize that being up to your neck in debt is a huge burder and stress on people and governments, and it’s good to be in control of your finances and pay your debts and make good on your promises to others. And be responsible with your money.
