But we must deal w/what IS, not what should have been...and now that the system is in place, which individuals should we cut off first? Of course the 1st to go should be the freeloaders who abuse the system...baby makers for money and others manipulators. Then you cut off the next level and the next level and pretty soon you are cutting off aide to the soldiers who have given their all to this country and you and me as citizens...so of all the millions our country uses to help those in need, finding a starting point is easy...but where do you stop? Strictly according to Bunce and Crockett, even the soldier returning from battle w/out the arms and legs he had since birth are afforded no gov't assistance...So where do you stop, once you start cutting?
