re: The Conservative Myth of a Social Safety Net Built on Charity

quote:

---

1: Food stamps. $858 million in abuse.

2: Defense. I think we all agree on that.

3: Research. Not all research is bad, but we fund some nonsense.

4. Disability: We all know about this.

5. Subsidies for ethanol.

6. Subsidies for oil.

7. The TSA.

8. The prison system.

9. The postal service. Don't fund pensions for 50 years.

10. Tax free status for religious organizations.

11. Funding for the arts. I'm OK with some tax breaks, but no actual funding.
