Just another sophist pile of idiocy and mendacity from the always useless and terminally stupid progressive left. Public services required by municipal, county or state statute, ie police, fire, education etc are not "social programs", but of course you'll bring up the simplistic argument that they are being paid by taxpayer funding. Go ahead.

Ok. Well YOUR party seems to add MORE social programs and salaries when they are in power. TSA... Benifits and good salary for mall cops.... More agencies. More cops more cops more cops. I can't wait till more money is handed out in the next 4 years. Maybe I can get a fist full of bucks.

Custodians would not make 70k off the taxpayer.

Then how could your point be valid if they are not against these publicly funded programs?

I hope people notice that each side is being inconsistent. Everyone wants the government to force others to pay for the stuff they like, and they're against others forcing them to pay for what they don't like.

That's why I often challenge people: Name something YOU should be forced to fund that you don't want to fund.
