I agree with your thoughts on entitlement programs.
Which proves what I said...the Federal govt. CREATES these problems. And then struggles to "fix" them.
If the feds themselves didn't create massive entitlements, then citizens wouldn't try to get them. And if the feds hadn't went down to Columbia and went after the cocaine cartels...the Mexican cartels wouldn't exist. If the feds would go ahead and legalize marijuana and other recreational drugs then there wouldn't be the violence on the border.
It's a fucked up situation for sure. But you and I didn't create it.
It was created by lifetime/career bureaucrats in Washington D.C. taking money from special interests to pass stupid laws that only benefit the companies best interests.
People want to get high? Not unless we can hook 'em on prescription drugs and make billions!
