Re: A word about social programs
I am a conservative moderate who is against the public-at-large being responsible for the huge national debt which our country carries.
I agree. It should be the responsibility of the rich conservatives who ran up the debt. But lots of luck collecting it from them.
The liberals seem to think that they are entitled to spend whatever is necessary to help everyone...even though not everyone will end up paying it back.
Oh, bullshit. It is the conservatives who run up the debt.
The problem with you people is that when you are in power, everyone's money and taxes become yours to do what you want with.
If you look at recent trends, the deficit goes up when Republicans are in charge and it goes down under Democratic administrations. You have it backwards.

Re: If you say so
My argument is that yes, an administration (imagine a global government) that insists upon control and distribution of ALL finances held by ALL private individuals in the context of feeding everybody would in fact be authoritarian.
Are any liberals actually proposing that? Or are you just making it up.

Re: If you say so
Addressing ringo specifically, I find that he advocates doing whatever is necessary, My issue is that he thinks that in a crisis, everyone's money is fair game for use.
As usual, you are probably misunderstanding ringo.
And I'll remind you that it is the Republicans who are wanting to steal the social security trust fund and give it away to the very rich.
