I wasn't refering to handouts, per se. It's funny, though, how you immediately jump to that conclusion. You really have a thing about conserving *your* wealth and power, huh?

I said quality of life for our own citizens. From your perspective, that would mean that instead of spending money in Iraq, we could round up all the homeless and execute them. It could mean sending a man to Mars, more police to keep the lazy welfare frauds away from you, or whatever. I know that improving roads would improve my quality of life.
