I don't know when in history any government that you (Scaeagles) would approve of wholeheartedly ever existed.

Well, simplistically, the Constitution does call for the federal government to provide for the common defense.
Is there a government at any time in history that YOU (WB) would approve of wholeheartedly? As Winston Churchill once said, democracy is the worst form of government - except for all the others. Don't get all high and mighty and suggest you don't disagree with things the government has done and will do. I didn't even say I disagreed with what the program does, though will admit my post asking why it was the responsibility of government was provocative, and intentionally so. As CP posted, EVERY program that will get cut will have champions and those who believe it is vital and stupid to cut it. So where do cuts come from?
