[...] The Classic Liberal has some thoughts on how we fund those beloved social programs. [...]
"Bank bailouts, auto bailouts, foreign aid, social security, medicare, farm subsidies, corporate subsidies..."
Social Security Insurance does not belong among those, nor would a true effective National Health-care Insurance...These are citizens paying into a pool to later draw their money out.
(Holding the argument of whether the federal government should be getting in to the insurance business for the moment)
Where as the others listed are actual tyranny of the federal government, stealing from the productive to pay for the negligent, incompetent and the social miscreant leeches, who believe they are entitled and privileged...based on the Marxist Paradigm...i.e. because those who do (use their creativity, ingenuity, and entrepreneurial-ship) have, for the purpose of improving their own lives, and those who don't do (using creativity, ingenuity, and entrepreneurial-ship) deserve the rewards of others (mostly ineffectual academics and pseudo-intellectuals) for Pseudo-equality's sake.
What Bush Jr. and and Obama did (i.e. the bailout of their ivy league corporate-socialist golfing and campaign buddies...is tantamount to National Socialist (i.e. Fascist) Economic principles.
I too am a "Classical" Liberal...and unfortunately people in this country (the U.S.) are by and large ideologically confused by labels and decoy plays on their morality and good-hearts.
Our American education system should be teaching "American Civics" beginning in grade school and up throughout high school (so that people understand the natural and structure of Freedom, Liberty, Justice, and democratic-republicanism (lower case D, lower case R)y as well as Logic and Rhetoric, and critical thinking beginning in middle school and up through high school...but the bureaucrats who (for the most part) control and monopolize education in this country would never let that happen, because they would then loose control of the society and ultimately of the government voted into office by those philosophical/political zombies they pump out of the public school system.
