The "New Deal" programs instituted by FDR are ENORMOUSLY expensive, and this Country just so happens to be almost BANKRUPT, and definitely Financially impoverished in large part because of all of the "Social Programs" many of which are being over utilized by a large group of people that should NOT have access to them.
If we add even MORE "give away" programs to the budget, this Country will be BROKE within five years.
You could take ALL the money away from ALL the millionaires, stick it in the Treasury, and in VERY short order, it will be GONE given our current rate of expenditure.
Long before that happens, the "rich" will have left the Country, moved their manufacturing overseas, GUTTING the number of available jobs, and this Country will have all the political, monetary, and defensive clout of Ceylon.
I am sure glad that at almost 62, I won't be around to see what this Country that I pledged my life's Blood to defend winds up becoming.
