I never said welfare. I said fellow Americans as even the crap that I do use is also (or can be) used by 349,999,999 other people.
Anyways, I'll play the big, bad, right wing, god fearing, baby loving, oil drilling, conservative that hates everyone else in the country and wished they would all die of starvation and diseases, do to their inferior economic and or racial standing
I look at the federal government spending and see that 56% percent of it is spent oh so selflessly on SS, healthcare, and welfare programs.
So that leaves 44% of the budget for stuff that I do use no matter how inefficient or terribly provided by our bureaucratic overlords. Thats still 15 days out of the year (or 45 working days) of paying for stuff that I dont use.
Screw the statue or the medal I want 30 of those days back for vacation.
