I’m about half way through the book “Free Lunch” and it’s infuriating. I knew corporate welfare was a much bigger problem than people welfare, but had no idea just how widespread it is, and how much it costs us all.

Heidi, just because someone doesn’t want money to be spent on this program, doesn’t mean they want it spent somewhere else. There is an alternative option, and that’s not spending it at all. The government could lower taxes and let people keep their own money, crazy as that sounds.

Now, you seem to be under a common confusion. I don’t know anything about Brian, but I assume that you were responding to Dave himself. I am pretty familiar with Dave’s views, and I can state pretty confidently that he doesn’t want the money spent on War, Haliburton, or Dick Cheney either.

Unfortunately in this country there is a false dichotomy, that if you don’t supports programs put forward by the Democrats, then you must be a Republican warmonger who wants the money to be spent on the military and billion dollar weapons.

Peoples views are must more complicated than that. There are those of us who hate the waste spent on social entitlement programs, but also hate the waste spent on American military adventurism through the world.

Just because you disagree with one side, doesn’t mean you agree with the other. There are more than two sides to every issue.

P.S. *uck *ff to you too.
