Government sponsored welfare is not in the Constitution, for anyone's sake. I do want my fellow man to fare well, and I expect him to carry some of that water for himself. You're mistaken on another one of your points, there's no requirements for individuals to balance their budget, but there are requirements for the Senate to provide an annual budget and submit it to the House for consideration. The sad fact is the programs you listed, SS, Medicare and Medicaid do provide much needed support for many Americans but they are not protected and have been raided on numerous occasions. Welfare and caring for your fellow man are not bad in any sense of the word but it should be a hand up, not a hand out.
Ron, Please name one federal program which operates in the black, in other words, with no further need for funding from the taxpayers. Our tax dollars are not an investment, they are a funding source for government, nothing more. Profitable, didn't think our government was a business, I fail to see where any entitlements program florish without cutting something else.

Bitch and whine, nobody's as cool as me, shut up and play, calling out others then putting out a fake badass photo as above. Really, just entertain me, and if you can't do that, on with the next guy.
