Medicare has wrecked our health care system and is ~100 Trillion underfunded. Social Security is collapsing and will do so if it isn't privatized. etc...etc... blah blah blah.....immature dilettantism...nothing more than belly aching without constructive content...I have worked with people like you everywhere I have been...nothing to add but cynical, empty complaints. Everything is fucked up...ask them to come up with solutions and they drool like idiots. Sure...we create a social system, fail to fund it adequately then the brilliant archie bunker society notes that it's under water, while never addressing alternatives solutions to societal problems for which these systems were put in place . Any schmuck can do that...solve some tough problems first, then you've earned to right to complain...until then all you've done is add to them. I do not rely on government to do shit except protect the homeland. And never will. LOL...dumb as a rock to the very end...as soon as you get up in the morning you start enjoying the benefits bestowed upon you by your government...the safety of the water you drink, the food you eat, the roads you use, the cleanliness of the air you breathe...the rules and systems that safeguard what belongs to you, the legal apparatus that keep you safe and criminals in jail, the social system that educates your children, I could go on for pages...you guys and your simpleton vision of a "smaller government"...it's little more than mindless bitching among beer buddies...you couldn't function w/o government.
