экзамен на гражданство сдали и все забыли? Defense is a legitimate function of the american government. welfare is not a legitimate function. there is a reason for that, there are things essential to the survival of a country and isolated individuals cannot possibly provide them; defense is one of of those things. government is in the business of protecting its citizens; it should not, however, run medical care business - it is not what government is good at; everybody should be doing what they do best, not what they want to do to grab more power.
