Quote by: SoccerfreakAB2 Please back up your first idea of removing law enforcement. That is a commie move that would go down the drain in a matter of days. It won't even get that far because people aren't stupid enough to take away law enforcement.
Actually, correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe Amendment 10 in the Bill of Rights states that any areas not covered in the constitution or the amendments are left up for the state's to decide (i.e. abortion).
Don't get me wrong, I think welfare is totally inefficient and only does worse damage to the character and work ethic of the family on welfare. BUT, just because a program doesn't work, doesn't mean the goal of the program is flawed, just the program itself. Therefore, I think a good revisiting into how we can spend low amounts of money while offering (paid?) programs to educate and motivate lower class citizens on drugs and offer assistance in how to quit addictions. Careful attention could be paid to locate progress in some people, and lack of progress in others. See, that took like 3 minutes and there's a few ideas right there. Flaws? Sure, but it won't take a braniac to figure a better system out--you just need a drive to achieve the same goal. |
I said take away FEDERAL law enforcement. I really wish you'd read what was actually written.
There is nothing in what I posted to contradict the amendment leaving those things not enumerated in the Constitution either to the states or to the people.
As for Welfare, the goal of the program is arguably unconstitutional.
