They are spending whole 20% on social security and only 3% on education. Isn't this a great way to have a society full of dumb and lazy people?
Benefits were always the easiest way to bribe voters.

You are absolutely right. These sort of retarded logic results in the creation of an entire generation of welfare rats, who are not capable of any productive activity. BTW, in my opinion education must be free.

Well that's what happens when a country gives out welfare to lazy people, to everyone like its candy. In my country elementary and high school are free, tho college costs a little more money but if you have good scores you can enroll on a state budget and study for free, I mean there are still some fees for books and means if you want to but studying college that year is free, no need to pay yearly money for college that way and also if you want to stay on the state budget you need to keep up the good work of studying hard.

I'm with you on the idea of getting rid of welfare, but what about free education? What if I don't want to support free education. I bet there are a whole lot of people who don't.

When government gives somebody else something free, by stealing it from a third person, the third person loses some of HIS freedom. In addition, the energy government exerts to take some of my freedom and give it to some student, is energy that government has to be paid for somehow. So, government steals some more of my freedom just to support itself in its freedom stealing efforts.

The stealing isn't right. There are plenty of people who would willingly donate to free education for kids, without the government having to step in and get paid for their inefficient operation.

Trump is talking about doing away with the Department of Education in the U.S.
