I’m generally not for giving things away because it tends to devalue the good or service but how about this?
How about we package all the tax-payer-paid-for goodies we’re giving to illegals in the country and give them to active-duty military and veterans? They’re not getting anything for “free.” They dutifully served the country in a dangerous job, and they got paid almost nothing for it. Also, we’re in the middle of a military recruiting crisis. We could enhance their salaries and their educational benefits packages. We could get them better healthcare, and we could get them housing worthy of their sacrifice.
This is a NO-BRAINER, which is why it’ll never happen. Because most people in government have no brains.
I am not a doctor, and I don't play one on TV. But I am exposed to college aged kids around the local golf coarse near me (public golf coarse owned by the college). These college guys are good respectable kids, but they do like to talk about their college environment. The majority of these guys are conservative raised just trying to get through a far left college environment. For some reason, leftist soy boys don't seem to golf. So... These guys tend to want to talk to someone with views similar to their own. They find me interesting because I'm an old fart boomer. But I'm digressing...
Anyway. When waiting in the clubhouse or practice putting green, you get to know folks that you see regularly. These guys make claims that college kids will do just about anything to get high. Even implied using house hold cleaning products for a high of some kind. Perhaps that's where eating tide pods came from? So you think college kids are intelligent? Nope. Some are, many are not. If they find a product...
