There is no right not to starve to death.

Welfare has nothing to do with the US constitution or the founding fathers.

Welfare is FDR and LBJs baby. Before them, there was no such thing.

But to simply say that overall it is superior in every way, is completely false.

That being said the F-18E/F, IMO at least, possesses completely inadequate flight performance to satisfactorally perform the role of fleet defender.

Agreed. The Superhornet has a much better maintenance record compared to the F-14.

HHS and labor have vital roles though. As for the unions, I've seen first hand how lazy they can make out public servants.

I'm a proponent for the reduction of entitlement spending, but education doesn't fall into that category. In spite of the 10'th Ammendment, I wholeheartedly support federal education programs and feel the Department of Education should take a greater role. In fact, I'd go for a greater level of standardization and unification of the education system for a number of reasons.
One, because the states and local municipalities have failed to provide credibility and accountability.
Two, because a greater level of standardization assists in assessing the true status of the educational system.
Three, because education is the key to long term growth and in order for our nation to continue to grow capital stock we must dedicate greater resources, not necessarily funds to the education of our future.
