That's a fair point. It doesn't make me feel any differently about the proposition that, in a society that preaches values like rugged individualism and fiscal responsibility to its poorest members, it's strange to me that 99% of the government's per capita expenditures are going to places other than the people. Literally 99%. And by blindly subsidizing every single business, including like hedge funds and other speculators who partially caused the liquidity crisis, the government in sowing the seeds for the next meltdown and disguising insolvent firms as economically viable ones. All of which is bad for society and the economy.
