      Have these random programs actually helped Americans?

      To my naive view, would America not he better served with a far more progressive tax system, in lieu of spending these large sums to foreign countries and various agencies that squander what could be given to the poor?

      In what world is giving the poor more money directly not he an effective means of raising their standard of living, which should be the main point of a progressive government?

          Given the crazy spending how much do you feel in dollar value the low end workers would be getting per year?

          They don’t get much money back in taxes, no universal healthcare, I don’t think child care is covered. So what are they getting for all the spending?
