It would make more sense to spend the government's hand outs/money on a New Deal 2013 with massive public works projects to repair our
own country's infrastructure while creating jobs, versus spending it on other countries, or to paying people to sit on their asses watching Oprah.
At least if they have jobs rebuilding this country's infrastructure, you would have more jobs despite government involvement, you're able to tax them, they would be out spending and driving the engine of commerce with their wages versus being a 100% cash drain with no return on investment being a couch potato.
From a business owner's perspective, almost nothing the government has done in decades (not just republican, not just democrat) makes any sense. We do not get to run a business with massive debt, and just keep kicking the ball down the road for decades. You do not invest in things that bring absolutely no R.O.I. at all. Things that are invested in, require a timely return or progress to justify them.
While I concede that their are people who need a TEMPORARY hand to keep from hitting rock bottom while they get back on their feet. We are breeding a society of those who are too good to work at McDonalds, all these college students applying for food stamps, and people paid to sit around watching Oprah for 2+ years. This shit is running off the rails.
