Are you implying that we have this "social safety net" in place mainly to prevent the poor from running amuck?

I'm sorry KJ but I've seen this country start sliding down the drain after we put a man on the moon, and the pace of failure seems to be increasing.

All the fucking homeless out there...good grief!

And there's no end in sight.

Junkies / fentany addicts, mentally ill people sleeping in tents in the 'burbs, busted out gamblers in the tunnels: bah, round them up and put them in work camps / secure facilities (yeah, like jails) where they can earn money and perhaps a skill so that when they 'graduate" they have a shot at self-sufficiency, and if they screw up and break the law ship them to El Salvador.

I'd prefer my tax dollars be used for that.
