Need to Reduce Useless Social/Welfare Programs in America
The United States of America was fine before the inundation of social programs initiated by the Great Society in the 1960s. As a result of such program, we Americans have a massive welfare system & many more useless social programs which are depleting America economically. The middle class, of course, are paying the brunt of the taxes. Another consequence of these social welfare programs is that people have become irresponsible, unaccountable, & entitled. Some aren't even satisfied w/the current scope of useless welfare & social programs, they want to go even further-they believe that healthcare, housing, & even college tuition should be either very low cost or even free! Your thoughts? Was America MUCH BETTER when she was a MASSIVE SOCIAL/WELFARE state?
