[QUOTE="cow pollinater, post: 842086, member: 14661"] I have no problem with taking care of the truly needy regardless of where they are in the world. However, it should be handled by churches, neighbors, communities, where anyone concerned can see the need and address it on a case by case basis instead of a blanket policy manned by government employees who have no real stake in the game. I believe alot of folks that have made a living off of welfare would have to change the lifestyle rather quickly if they had to walk up to their own neighbor and ask for a check for doing nothing even though that's esentially what they're doing by milking the system. As far as war and nationbuilding is concerned, we don't have enough real leadership in this country to fight a real war. Everyone is so busy trying to get re-elected that they won't do anything un-popular. If someone wants to rattle the sabers, either turn them into glass or ignore it altogether regardless of what is popular with the voters at that particular point in time. Otherwise all this money we pump into a bristling military is wasted. We might as well cut back to just barely enough to defend ourselves and never build a standing army. [/QUOTE]
