Lower taxes, less goverment social programs.
Each time the moral fabric is torn, tax payers become more and more inslaved by the consequences.
Get rid of the moral decline, free the slaves.
Those who endorse moral depravity as "constitutional" are building their own tax prisons brick by brick. They're taking the rest of us down with them.
If social programs were eliminated today, crime, plague, abandoned children, would be the outcome.
Why endorce any moral decline in the first place? It leads to our own distruction from within. Bush is attempting to rebuild the nation from it's enimies. That's his job- to protect the country from attack.
If you'd like to debate this based solely on its merits as a good idea, aside from its constitutionality, you'll first have to concede that it is unconstitutional. That is unless you have a case to show otherwise. If you chose to claim it is in fact constitutional, I honestly don't think you'd have a leg to stand on unless you want to start sounding like a living constitution liberal.

Taxpayers are enslaved by socialism. Your neighbor's irresponsible behavior is not justification for theft to further enable more irresponsible behavior. Rather than eliminating irresponsible behavior, all welfare programs increase it because you'll always get more of what you subsidize. Even if this were not the case, welfare is a state concern, with not one bit of constitutional justification on the federal level.

I was unaware FDR's legacy had such high standing on FR. I'm not naïve, so I know we couldn't remove all social programs overnight. They'll have to gradually be undone so people can learn to be self-sufficient. If there is any merit to this proposal I would concede that the financial stability of the family would help to remove people from welfare.

Are you honestly trying to liken this to some kind of war?
