I think it can be argued that protecting the environment and helping people not starve to death or freeze to death can be beneficial to society as a whole.
I guess i'm confused as to how the line is drawn. Let's say we give everybody a free college education(hypothetically it works just fine). How much better of would we be as americans if everybody who wanted to had a college degree? How much better off would the economy be?
The environment is important for obvious reasons. Without it, roads and military seem like moot points.
Obviously people are entitled to their opinions. I just don't understand how some things can be justified based on their obvious benefit to the general populace, while other things aren't justified uses of tax dollars despite the fact that they can have a demonstrable benefit to society. How is the line drawn?
