ACTION

The Premise of the objections posted on 13 April, to a fiscally sound plan is that government has a place in providing HealthCare and/or College.  Before WWI it most certainly DID NOT!  And Unemployment benefits, as a whole, tend to make job creation harder.  True job security can only be obtained by production.  If an employee produces, the company will pay anything to keep him.  That is reality!
 
   The hypothetical government program needs means testing to verify its targeted purpose.  Those that have received these benefits for generations (and there are many, nationwide, including in your town), have learned how to get around those limits.  This result of human nature robs those "poor" of their potential, traps them in a low quality world, impedes the economic growth in those areas that are means tested for the rest of us, and teaches the progeny of the dole supported a twisted path to "success".  Such is the nature of the destructive power of government "cheese".
 
   Governments in general are force.  The sole motivator of government is law, which is made true by the treat of jail.  Thus, as a free people, we must never forget that everything that government does happens at the point of a gun.  If you buck the government long enough, it will kill you.  James Madison said "The essence of Government is power; and power, lodged as it must be in human hands, will ever be liable to abuse."
 
   It is thus incredulous that "educated" people look to government for tasks that require charity.  Taking charity at the point of a gun robs the givers of the benefits of the process of identifying needs, a job they would do much better than the government.  Depending on private folks to identify those needs would also bring the community closer together.  We see above how it robs charity's beneficiaries.  Private charity provides better benefits, tailored to the specific need, and is much easier to escape.
 
   The Ryan budget moves our nation toward a truly beneficial society by reducing the destructive force of government cheese.  It is amazing that one who calls herself "Attorney" cannot see that.  Thomas Jefferson told us: "To take from one, because it is thought his own industry and that of his fathers has acquired too much, in order to spare to others, who, or whose fathers, have not exercised equal industry and skill, is to violate arbitrarily the first principle of association, the guarantee to everyone the free exercise of his industry and the fruits acquired by it."  It should be our goal to return to that state!

I'm new here, and I'm new to this posting stuff, so please bear with me.

I'm also a farmer, so I get all the latest details regarding ag. subsidies.

Let me tell you about the lastest brilliant program.

Greenhouses. In Nebraska. For growing edible vegetables only.

1) They must be 100 ft. long.

2) They should be 48 feet wide.  (so far so good)

3) They must have open endwalls. (no walls on 2 sides)

4) They cannot be heated. (see #3)

5) They must be located within 200 acres from a farmyard. (where are you going to get water?)

6) Uncle Sugar pays $1.04 per sq. ft. per year. ($4992.00 per year)

7) They pay the $4,992.00 for 4 years. ($19,968.00)

8) After 4 years, you get to keep the greenhouse and use it as you wish.

9) 200 applications for this program are available.

Can someone please tell me how anyone in Nebraska, can grow veggies, in an unheated greenhouse, with no endwalls, and no available water supply?

If it's warm enough to grow anything inside this thing, it's warm enough to grow them outside, no walls!

If 200 people signed up for this program:

3 million, 993 thousand, 600 dollars ($3,993,600.00) gets ripped from your pocket.

Multiply that times our 50 states= $199,680,000.00

That's 200 million dollars.

That my friend is a lot of veggies.

And, it's the truth.

You won't hear about this on ABC, NBC or CBS.
