We the People is not mob rule....even if we select TrumpAgain, I think you are still referring to mob rule as your justification that the treasury can be used for anything.The treasury belongs to We the PeopleNo. That would be mob rule. That's why we have a represented government; to prevent mob rule. I am sorry but you cannot drain the treasury just because some citizens don't provide for themselves. Maybe you are confusing a Republic with a Commune. We don't do that here.So you are making a comparison that since the federal government funded the space program that they should fund health care? The role of the government is to do for the people what they can't do for themselves. The role of the government is NOT to do for the people what they can and should do for themselves.Bottom line is Americans overwhelmingly demanded and supported the space program.
It happened after Sputnik and Yuri Gagarin
The people could not develop ICBM's to counter the Russian threat. The people can and should take care of their own medical costs.
The role of government is to do what needs doing as determined by We the People
If we want to spend it on the health of the people instead of the military.....that is our right
In a Republic, We the People elect representatives to do our will. If they fail, we vote them out
