So you do not think a society should spend a few bucks to pay for a medal for one of our countries heros?

What about our government spending money for the myriad statues of our heros, or food stamps for the poor, etc.

Our government pays for purple hearts and military medals. Is that wrong too?

Should our government just let the poor starve during hard times, like they did in the great depression?

Should we have no government regulations, stop lights, police, firemen, food inspection, water and air quality standards or a military?

What do you think the role of government is? Have no government?

I commend Ron Paul for having the courage to vote against that medal.

The reason he voted against it was taxpayers ought not have to pay for such things. I agree in principle.

If Congress wanted a medal for her why didn't they take up a collection on their dime not mine.

Koan you never research a damn thing. It's time for you to do some research instead of reacting emotionally about what YOU feel is good for everyone else.<<
