The Warfare State IS the Welfare State. Millions of people would be on welfare if they hadn't turned themselves into slaves to the Military Industrial Complex. If America would suddenly revert to what it should be doing these millions would be homeless, out of work or in jail or worse, they would get a job in the security industry and make the USA even more unlivable. Too bad that this class is young, as a rule, has no hope, no new ideas and brains that have turned to mush from drugs, religion and nationalism.
"However, we must go beyond balancing the budget to transitioning back to a free society, and that means eventually placing responsibility for social welfare back in the hands of individuals and private institutions."
Military types are far worse than those unfortunates legitimately on welfare because they can never really transition back to becoming moral citizens. I'm all for cutting military spending but isn't there also a way to put all the military people on some remote island and let them kill each other rather than bring them back home jobless and create a further burden to everyone?
I like your idea of "institutions" but you cannot take people with no brains and full of hate and keep trying to build a decent society going forward no matter what institution you place them in. America today is the final mutation of decades of militarism. In my opinion it can't be helped, too far gone. Those in our society who have any love or decency left in them are being destroyed by the influence of subhuman returned servicemen from previous wars among us.
Isn't it obvious that the book has been written and the ending cannot be changed. The USA is finished as a world power in oh so many ways. A total cleansing is needed but we can't afford it.
Won't that be one mighty day
When we hear world leaders say
"We don't have to cry no more"
"We're givin' it up, we gonna let it all go"
Chorus:
Ain't gonna study, study war no more
Ain't gonna think, think war no more
Ain't gonna fight, fight war no more
We're givin' it up, we gonna let it go
We're givin' it up, we gonna let it go
We will take gun powder to have fun
Then get rid of the atom bomb
Something else that we can do
Get rid of all those rockets too
[chorus]
The money spent on bombs alone
Can build poor people a happy home
Something good we can do
You treat me like I treat you
No more starving in the nation
Everybody gets an education
Everytime a baby is born
We know he'll have him a happy home
[chorus]
No more sleeping in the street
We all happy whoever we meet
Then we all will shake their hand
And make this world a promised land.
