Of course not. Even with the huge taxes, the welfare state is still bankrupting the Europeans. In fact, Sweden and Germany have been cutting back on benefits for current recipients--something US politicians would not dare to do.
The problem with all these different models of government is that the constitution is ignored. The constitution is what the president swears an oath to and it is the only and main point of his job.
For the Democrats and some Reps, the Constitution can be interpreted in such a way as to justify their objectives. Promoting the general welfare is used to support programs like SS, Medicare, Medicaid, Obamacare, food stamps, etc. And in many cases SCOTUS decisions ordain them as being constitutional.
If people want to make the government into an accepted big business model, they’ll be frustrated until they get a new constitution in which calls for a big business model which calls for the president to be a manager.
The people want this huge government enterprise managed properly. Medicare, Medicaid, Obamacare, food stamps, are rife with huge amounts of fraud and mismanagement. Hundreds of billions of dollars are being wasted annually. The waste is enormous and we are paying for it in not only taxes, but also, huge deficit spending that is plunging us ever deeper into bankruptcy. These are threats to our economic well-being, standard of living, national security, etc. Unless we can get our financial house in order, everything else is just rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.
You can’t manage this big governmental system efficiently
Supreme Court decisions or not. It is not designed to maintain 47% on welfare, food stamps etc. if tge Supreme Court wants to rule that way fine then the people need to respond to that in a constitutional way
Welfare is constitutional? Ok for the sake of argument, are welfare recipients constitutionally allowed to vote? If no one has taken that question to task it’s up to the people to do so. Mitt Romney certainly would not do so. His focus was ostensibly to manage our economics.
The problem with our economy is nothing more than corruption A guy who is a good manager is not the antidote to that. A guy with a working knowledge of the constitution is the answer.
The Supreme Court never ruled that the government is no longer run by we the people so the people need to respond. You think its by hiring a good manager.
I don’t
The people run the government. If it doesn’t run well it’s because the people are not managing it well
