We will get that which we subsidize...no? Absolutely.
Heard an interesting analogy concerning programs of benevolence and why they DON'T work and never will...went something like this.
"Let's say the Minnesota Twins were going to play a baseball game tomorrow. The thing is though, ALL the tickets were free. Not only that, once in the stadium, the hotdogs and beer were free, too. How many people would be going to Minneapolis for the game?" That is our welfare/immigration/healthcare policy all rolled into one example...and a fitting one at that, I might add.
The way we HELP this country is to immediately rescind ALL forms of welfare...and I mean ALL forms. If we subsidize (reward) laziness, idoctrination and leniency towards lawlessness, we will become a nation of slothful, ignorant, criminals (oh wait...too late).
We have to get back to subsidizing (rewarding) a strong work ethic, TRUE education and the rule of law. It's the only way this country will survive the next 20 years. If something isn't done, and soon, the shit will most definitely hit the fan (some say it's already doing so)...and it ain't gonna be pretty when it does.
