The Future of Democracy

[HappySkeptic]

And this I think ties in with something I mentioned earlier, namely that according to polls, while the majority of Americans are now socially liberal, a significant majority still remains fiscally conservative. If the polls are accurate, then social spending is viewed positively by a minority in the US.

I am socially liberal and fiscally conservative.

But I think what has always happened in the U.S. to stop social spending is the fear that someone undeserving (i.e. the wrong race) is going to get the money.
