Each dollar not invested in the people is a waste and might as well be lit on fire.

Look at the economics of poland. It's not shocking why their economy is crushing the rest of the world rn. They have free education, free Healthcare, high minimum wage $8.50 USD and cost of living is 32% lower than the US. Also rent is 55% cheaper.
They're also a homogenous society.
But you're cherry-picking here. Now do the cost of living in every other western country that offers free everything...

Our programs are bandaids rather than investments in the future.
We will give someone hundreds of dollars in food stamps 80 years rather than spend money to train them to do something useful that would create a return on investment in taxes

It’s our fault, we are sheep. All we have to do is stop paying taxes and it all comes to an end. We can force reconstruction.

Thats a fact

Agree, we would not only save but also create personal wealth by training people's job skills.
Posted on 9/16/25 at 11:20 am to BuckI
Most of those people don't want training and work. Just cut off the entitlements, hungry people will start figuring it out.

Poland is 98% white. Their cities are the size of American suburbs... not blue lawless megatropolis's.
These are also factors.

B). Socialized programs tend to work much better in smaller nations with more homogenous and like-minded populations, like Poland and some of the Nordic countries.
If our tax payer money would stay within the borders of the US, and not outsourced, we could fund those programs too.
If Social Security was privatized individual gov backed bonds with 6% guaranteed return, then people would create wealth.
Many government programs could be turned into America first programs, but then our politicians couldn’t steal our taxpayer dollars.

It amazes me to this day that people want the United States government running healthcare. Unreal.
And that is how it should be referred to. It is only free healthcare for those that don't pay taxes. Do not refer to it as free. What it should be referred to is the government run healthcare.

How can a country with so many less resources like poland have their citizens average cost of living be down to around $800 a month when just housing is double that?
Democrats brought in 10s of millions of illegals and insist on giving welfare to every lazy POS in the country. That has a tendency to increase costs.
Aren't you a democrat? Your post history suggests you are.

We’ve invested tens of trillions in social welfare programs over the last 60 years, and it has had a net negative effect. Education, too.

Because we approach it the wrong way. Republicans have brainwashed people to think of welfare as a handout rather than an investment towards future growth because thats what it is currently. We would rather apply bandaids than approach the fundamental issue
You saying investing in education has a net negative effect is a great example of how strongly they have convinced you.
Meanwhile poland has done it heavily and the results show they pay in dividends.
If you can get to the problems before they arise you can prevent a lot of citizens from becoming tax burdens for life

It’s the republicans’ fault. It always is.

I was saying that annually dumping more and more money into our education system has not resulted into better outcomes. We’ve regressed tremendously.

The problem is "the people".
You can throw all the money at schools you want - but if the family unit / community doesn't value education and discipline, then it's a waste.
Look at Baltimore.

Republican Party =/= to conservatives.
Conservatives arent the problem, the party not representing conservative fiscal policies are.
Democrats are worse. But there is no talking sense to people that vote for democrats

“The Free Market is great sure, but not if it means my kids won’t be able to get jobs and have to live in a 3rd world hellscape.”
Free markets, or at least relatively free markets, provide the innovation and rising productivity that allows to leave relatively prosperous lives. Almost everything “bad” is the result of family breakdown, moral decay, and the misguided social policies that do more harm than good (e.g., changes in laws regarding involuntary commitment of the mentally ill).

Everything you just said is bullshite. I have several Polish tenants living and working in Germany. Cost of living is about the same as Germany ,yet in Poland the income is about half. Unless you are in a highly technical field you won't make money there and most are house poor. Thier healthcare isn't good, one of my tenants told me that they have to wait up to 3 weeks for an x-ray and seeing a doctor isn't that fast. They are making strides in the right direction ,but are still underdeveloped in many areas.
