46 million people are on foodstamps.
The national debt is heading for 20 TRILLION dollars.
The govt. is no longer just "helping" older people. It's trying to control far more than that. And the results are the same as always when the govt. gets involved too far.

And I agree totally with your earlier post Robbie!
The problems with any kind of social support system are vast, especially in a nation of 300+ million people. Plus we have a history of immigration & assimilation that is also broken and feeding the problem. So any "fix" we could think of would have to incorporate ALL aspects of the broken American system. Meaning economics, racism, immigration, values, taxes, etc.
I wish someone could just flick a switch and make things all better.
