- jtbayly 7y agoThere is literally no other way to do it. The government gets its money through taxes.

- jtbayly 7y agoI think you're missing my point. The money still comes from taxes, which come from taxpayers, no matter what. Saying that the government can afford it is saying that we can afford it. The government doesn't have any money except ours.
- ng12 7y agoI'm not saying it doesn't. The grandparent's point was that the gov could spend the some of the $T it spends on the military on healthcare. My point is the gov is much more likely to fund healthcare through new taxes than to spend less on the military.
