Well, your general welfare argument has already been debunked.No one has said that. This is why it is impossible to have a conversation with anyone on the left.The fed gov shouldnt be subsidizing energy.
I just wish you statist dumbfucks would amend the Constitution instead of shitting all over it.
Let’s let the elderly, who have worked and paid taxes all of their lives, contributed to their communities and their country, freeze in the dark shall we?
Tell Me, why doesn't a red flag go off in your head when you hear that people cannot survive without the help of government?
Absolutely not. But then I live in a country which provides assistance with my heating/cooling bills too.
When such programs are in place and they’re available to all low income seniors who qualify on the basis of income, the contribute to the general welfare of older citizens.
It sure would be nice to see these assistance programs designed to move people into self-sufficiency and a weaning off of the assistance.
Maybe an educational program to younger people telling them that such assistance is unnecessary if they plan appropriately, but to inform them that if they fail to plan appropriately, they are shit out of luck.
It is an axiom, that if you offer to take care of people, they will let you. If they fear being left out in the cold (so to speak), they'll take the proper measures.
