Not because of the benefits you describe, of course. They sound great!

But beware of the precious price we would pay for those entitlements.
We are paying precious prices now, but for war and destruction. Perhaps we should be paying for other things. Maybe our priorities are mixed up.

Interesting song and video.

I'm proud of the US military.

But not proud of Dems nor Repubs both are corporate sellouts.

And most of the American public is naive, overweight and lives off of 30-second soundbites on news media for their information. Most Americans never enter a book store nor read a book outside of college! True stats. The future of the US as trends indicate shows we're headed for idiocracy.

I believe idiocracy is a central philosophy of the Department of Education...
