well as far as I am concerned, government does one thing well and that is to provide a military to protect us from FOREIGN enemies. That is what I want government to do.
You have to know this, that welfare is an anticrime effort, they figgered that if they just gave it away, robbery would go down. and maybe it worked, I don’t know know
Essentially, the role of the federal government is to protect the states from foreign aggression and to regulate disputes between the states. Nothing else.
If two states agree to work together on something that the fedgov doesn’t like, tough.
One could argue that even the military is not efficient as it could be. Why do we pay for our military in Europe and Asia and the countries in these regions don’t pay for their own or contibute to the cost? Also why are our military in MIddle East not there to conquer, win, and get out but act like unarmed peace keepers and construction workers?
