Oh man, even the Reagan-esque "Government is the Problem!" platitudes.
Paintpooper, you've gone whack.
Certain types of governments can surely be the problem. Did you read any further into it then the first few lines?
Reagan was not honest when he said that, did you see him shrink government? No he grew the military and financial institutions within the government, and created a very corrupt system.
Under Reagan, Social Security spending went from 179 billion in 1981 to 269 billion.
Farm programs skyrocketed: 21 billion to 51 billion.
Medicare jumped from 43 billion in 1981 to 80 billion in 1987.
During the Reagan era, federal entitlements alone rose from 197 billion to 477 billion.
Most of that shit is probably the waste and spending we all hate, subsidies and people dipping into funds they shouldn't.
Also Reagan tried to kill Gaddafi back in the 80's, I don't think they agreed on politics.
I love things like social security and medicare and think they are great, but its not fixing any problems. We should be able to do without these things.
We should have universal health care for all.
And people "shouldn't" need social security if the system was not so fucked up. Just like welfare, and food stamps. If people are working a full time job they shouldn't need that stuff!
Those programs are just band-aid fixes to a much bigger problem.
