no, read a history book fool. The government was never set up to be a cradle to grave entitlement welfare outfit.
Where did I write it was supposed "to be a cradle to grave entitlement welfare outfit"?
It was you who claimed that the government had one main function.
The government is supposed to have one main function - provide for the common defense of the nation.
Everything else is nonsense.
I am for cutting wasteful entitlement payoffs to special interest groups that are not provided for in the constitution.
The military is a constitutionally provided for use of taxpayer money.
Planned parenthood, Condoms, NEA, are not.
I never wrote anything about a cradle.
I just quoted the Constitution, where even in the pre-amble Welfare is mentioned.
We the People...promote the general Welfare... this ConstitutionSo now I am asking you, how did you get the idea that the Constitution would claim that the Government should have only one main function?
-when it's even pointed out in the pre-amble that there are other functions as well?
Honest question sport - have you read the US constitution?
