That large portion of the federal budget goes to pay social programs. Social restructuring if you will. Taking money from those who work to give it to those who do not. This practice of redistributing wealth from the working class to the non-productive class is counter productive to a free market based society. Those who support such redistributions of wealth look to a socialistic society as an ideal to strive for. The only problem with this view is that truly socialistic societies do not function.

Andrew Jackson seen the Providence of God upon a people truly blessed who would when given the opportunity reach out and help those less fortunate than themselves. By forcing people to contribute to causes and sevices not supported by those same people will result eventually in an uprising of some sort. Whether it would be a total tax revolt or just public insurrection over the injust means of redistributing the wealth.

When one class of society is given access to the public drinking well of handouts and give backs the portion of society not permitted to drink from that same well will one day revolt or worse want their portion from the same drinking well.

Thus we have a federal budget spiraling out of control.

But what do I know I am just a birdbrained feather butt.

The bulk of the government spending goes directly to the
Pentagon/Security apparatus. That has been the largest and most
consistent zone of growth in the last 60 years.

Right along side this large portion of the government budget is the same amount of spending on domestic social engineering programs. National defense is a power granted the government by the constitution and I strongly support a strong well equiped national defense. I want us to have the biggest, fastest, most technologically advanced weapons systems known to man.

I want us to have the biggest, fastest, most technologically advanced weapons systems known to man.

My comments concerning the social programs still remains as a viable discussion point. If we cut out all social spending we could spend more on national defense and still save money. All the interest on money we have to borrow to maintain the ever increasing social programs is hurting our economy.

The ever growing attempt to make more and more people dependent on the government for handouts is also detrimental to this country.

It is good to note that as the economy continues to show robust signs of growth less people are finding the social welfare system needful or attractive.

The increase in our economic good fortune can be closely tied to the tax cuts introduced by congress and President Bush.

Continuing to cut taxes will have a lasting good effect on our economy and no detriment to those who would have us believe we would be starving grandmas and such like.
