I believe in preventative health care, and the minimal that can be gotten away with while still keeping the country basically healthy. Essentially, I want to spend the absolutely minimum necessary to keep the country educated, healthy, sane, and improving (that last is a whole post on it's own, if I ever make it). I even support- again, minimal, VERY minimal-- social programs. A few are necessary. Essentially, those too young, too old, or mentally incapable must be taken care of. For those who are not, not welfare but workfare. Even the physically disabled, unless they are completely disabled, can perform some kind of function. It's sort of like Welfare to Work (the things working for the Department of Social Services shows you, yay), but better.

And the bureaucracy needs to get pared down significantly.

What I think the current (and many of the previous) administration is doing is taxing far too much and wasting the generated revenue.

That's about as far as my brain can go right now. I'm off to dinner. If you want to ask me more questions, please do so. In a way this post is as much to help me frame and understand my own beliefs, as well as those of others.
