We all know Nichi loves to pay taxes. The more the better!
I dunno bout nichi, but Ray believes programs that benefit people should be at least as adequately funded as those intended to punish wrong doing.
Free markets works best for some things, central planning is better for others, like healthcare, education, transportation, public safety.
Privatizing prisons, using prisoners as slave labor for private companies, tax increment financing, a handful of huge companies dominating market share, are not necessarily examples of free markets.
It's also interesting that deficit and debt reduction only occurs when we elect Democrats.
"There is no reason why, in a society which has reached the general level of wealth ours has, (the certainty of a given minimum of sustenance) should not be guaranteed to all without endangering general freedom; that is: some minimum of food, shelter and clothing, sufficient to preserve health. Nor is there any reason why the state should not help to organize a comprehensive system of social insurance in providing for those common hazards of life against which few can make adequate provision." -- Hayek
