As a result of the incessant push towards Socialism, governments today are expected to provide more services than ever.
Whether it be welfare (both individual and corporate) or entitlements (think SS, Medicaid, and possibly UHC very soon), the push beginning in the 1930's for the government to provide for every aspect of life has begun to strain our governments, to the point of neglecting services that almost EVERYONE thinks should be provided, such as infrastructure and defense.
Should we expect more disasters such as the Minnesota bridge collapse and sending ill-equipped soliders to war in the future as the government is expected to provide more and more? Especially considering that our tax base is going to begin shrinking very soon (baby boomer retirement).
