/---/ In Colonial times, the welfare program was: Hunt, fish, farm or starve to death. And you didn't need a photo ID or have to fill out any forms.It's actually only 17% of the federal budget. The chart shows the percentage od DISCRETIONARY spending - meaning, after you subtract Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security.According.to the chart, 54% of the Federal Budget is spend on defense.
So, the question is ...
How do we stop spending on the other stuff and divert the other 46% to defense?

Still, if you spend tax money on social programs and the like, all you get is a lot of badly dressed people poking their noses into people's private lives.
If you spend that money on defense, you get cool jets, laser weapons, and smartly uniformed men and women in peak physical condition.
I'd much rather have a new aircraft carrier than a program to give condoms to pre-schoolers.
Yup. Defense money well spent.
All these social programs are a waste of our tax dollars. These freeloaders need to get off their asses and take care of themselves.
The economy is booming right now and there are jobs everywhere. No reason for anyone to be on welfare at all.
