DG,
The government doesn't know HOW much money it will take in until their fiscal year ends. So there is NO way to spend less than they take in.
Sure we hear of some "special" medical cases where the doctors & communities help, but they are rare.
For regular folks dealing with cancer, heart disease, etc, the costs can bankrupt them, especially if they have lost their job, & health insurance.
Many people work mulitple jobs (when they can) to support their families, the majority want to work, there are always some dead beats.
People PAY into SS & Medicare all of their lives, so its not a handout, its EARNED.
Why are Mega companies taking subsidies???
That's Corporate WELFARE in the BILLIONS!
And stop pissing away trillions on "wars"... clo

DO SOMETHING!
