What do you propose to make up for the lack of jobs, the lack of jobs
with benefits, the lack of jobs with decent pay, the lack of health
care, the lack of affordable higher or vocational education, the lack
of
the ability to put enough aside for a retirement? Soylent Green?

===================

If we keep going the way we are heading the fictitious "Soylent
Corporation" will be replaced by the very real federal government, at
least until it collapses.

I think we need to balance government investments in both social
welfare and industry areas with accountability for results.
If it doesn't work, don't continue to invest the taxpayer's money in
it. That's the problem with entitlement programs. Once started, it's
almost impossible to end them, regardless of how ineffective they are.

Most importantly, any government subsidized program must have an
"exit" plan so to speak. We simply can't afford to pile entitlements
on top of entitlements that robs the recipients of any incentive to
work to improve their own station in life. Unfortunately, with few
exceptions, that's how it is today and is heading to get even worse.
