How is it possible to cut out the various welfare-state features of our government that have already fastened themselves like cancer cells onto the body politic? Can drastic surgery be performed without endangering the patient? Drastic measures are called for. No compromise actions will suffice. Like all surgery, it will not be without discomfort and perhaps even some scar tissue for a long time to come. But it must be done if the patient is to be saved--and it can be done without undue risk.
Not all welfare-state programs currently in force can be dropped simultaneously without causing tremendous economic and social upheaval. The first step toward restoring the limited concept of government should be to freeze all welfare-state programs at their present levels, making sure that no new ones are added. The next step would be to allow all present programs to run out their term with absolutely no renewal. The third step would involve the gradual phasing-out of those programs which are indefinite in their term. The bulk of the transition could be accomplished, I believe, within a ten-year period and virtually completed within 20 years.
Transgendered

Transgender college students in Utah will be prohibited from living in dorms consistent with their gender identity, under a bill that cleared its final legislative hurdle Monday.
“If you don’t fit in, then that’s your own fault.”
This comment is wrong:
Are you being effective or vicious?
The state House, which had already passed the measure, again approved it with small tweaks following a heated Senate debate in which one Republican told trans people, “If you don’t fit in, then that’s your own fault.”
Wrong frame. That is not constructive. Fairness for all.
Avoiding the onotlogical question: is it real versus does it make you feel good?

But I come out for those who don’t - and to build community - and to say NO to this morally bankrupt administration. And let’s not forget that abortion bans will hurt menopausal women as we will see fewer and fewer doctors wanting to work in a field of practice that ties their hands against saving women’s lives and respecting women’s choices. Let’s not forget that the choices being made about the environment today will impact so many future generations. Let’s not forget that one accident might separate us from needing accessible spaces in a way we might not today. Let’s not forget that trans folks “agenda” is just to live their full lives.
