The problem isn't the system itself, it is the amount of AIPACians and neocons currently running it.
Our system, as originally designed, was actually pretty great.
Outside of AIPACians and neocons, I lay most of the blame on the 10th Amendment being completely gutted over the years. The Federal Government is gay.

Totally agree. We shouldn't have huge federal programs like Social Security, Medicaid/Medicare, etc. The 10th should prohibit that.
But "muh general welfare".
Seriously fuck off with that!
