We can't do that anymore. We can't spend money on programs just because they sound good. Meals on Wheels sounds great. [?] I can't defend that anymore. We cannot defend that anymore. $20 trillion in debt. We're going to spend money, we're going to spend a lot of money but we're not going to spend it on programs that show they deliver the promises we made to people.

As for school children:

They're supposed to help kids who don't get fed at home get fed so they do better in school. Guess what? There's no evidence they're actually doing that. There's no evidence they're helping results, helping kids do better in school, which is what -- when we took your money from you to say, we're going to spend them on after-school program, we justified it by saying these kids will do better in school and get jobs. We have no proof that's helping.
The reason the US is in so much debt is the wars they keep starting, loss of jobs to the Third World and Automation, migration of Third World workers into the US. Plus Americans don't pay enough taxes.

How much of that is due to the Republicans? Add the Democrats fuck up and you see why everything is so bad. Unless you're able to buy a politician to look after your interests.
