Step 1: Stop government charity. All of it. EBT, Housing, Healthcare -- government should be paying people who work for the government, but should never provide charity.
Step 2: Legalize drugs and tell people: If you and your kids start dying in alleys, that's your own damn fault.
I would support those 2 steps, in that order.
I agree with you on both steps.
Oxymoron alert! Government handouts are NOT charity. The word "charity" implies something done out of love, not out of the drive for political power (which is what entitlement programs are really for).
