Well Charles I respect your opinion but I think plenty of good has come from both the Great Society and the New Deal. Seniors have better access to health care and aren’t living in abject poverty with much shorter life spans as they were before. If we eliminate these programs, or dramatically scale them back as many want, I feel in ALL fairness that all Government provided pension and health care plans including Military be eliminated/scaled back accordingly as well, that means you too Congress. Let’s REALLY drain the swamp and quit pussy footing around. The point is that people want what they say they don’t it’s just they either don’t want to pay, they pay too much or someone else should. Another common theme is to find a scapegoat, welfare mothers for example. In other words, plenty of opinions with few facts and understanding.
Bdp24 your story about your brother in law is just so typical. I have a brother in law who does listen but has a very Military perspective, his father is a retired full bird. We’ve had some interesting discussions and I like him but we think very differently. There is one thing however he is bound by, his racism and xenophobia which he was carefully taught from childhood, he really can’t help himself. "You’ve got to be carefully taught" check out the song from the Roger’s and Hammerstein’s "South Pacific". Amazing how relevant it is to this day. After all this is an audio site so he should at least attempt to keep the conversation somewhat relevant!
