<<Those favors are simply a repayment of your taxes and they shouldn't be squandered on wasteful spending.>.

That government squanders money on welfare is the largest myth in the world.

They squander it the most in defense and corporate welfare like the banks and energy companies and agriculture. Not human welfare.

And during a depression we sure as hell do not cut off unemployment and welfare. We expand it. We should expand it.
