The fact of the matter is, we got here with special-interest subsidies, and "here" is the complete and total collapse of the financial system. The longer we put it off, the worse it is going to be.
I certainly wouldn't want to take away any of your favorite special-interest subsidies, and I am sure you wouldn't want to take away anybody else's in the interest of "fairness," so lets just wait for the bleeding SOB to explode in our faces.
I am certain you deserve it.
I'm willing to make whatever sacrifices of free government stuff required, so I'm not so sure about me.
I think I’ve stated pretty clearly some things I’d be willing to take away from people. Let’s start with the school dinner program, NPR funding, sec. 8 housing, “wage” based COLAs for soc. sec. recipients, “disability” payments for drunks, drug addicts and probably a whole bunch of other people, medicare for the wealthy and the current system of medicare.
I’ve never been on unemployment and my income has always been way too high to qualify for any kind of aid. I managed to feed my kid 3 meals a day. I pay the taxes that are required of me. I give to charity.
I’m tired of being told I haven’t done/paid/given enough.
