Many of the programs out there were needed to stabilize the banking system and the economy. Without that life support everything would have been so much worse. Possibly catastrophic. Many economists and politicians who were against life support now agree it was necessary.
The patient is now stabilized. Time to cut off the feeding tubes and get him out of bed. Wall Street and the bankers are back to stealing at will and getting bonuses for it. The in over their heads consumers are looking for a free payday so they can get back to living above their means. Time to take away the crutches and let the pain begin. Far too many people have not learned their lesson and it's about time they did.
There is more to the farm subsidies than paying rich farmers not to grow. Farming is a capital intensive and highly risky venture. Farmers can have their whole year wiped out in a matter of minutes, yet they stay on the job making sure the good people along with the whiners have plenty of food to shove in their pie hole. Look at what the free market did to the financial system. Do you want that to happen to your food supply? Subsidies level the playing field where Wall Street and the big agri players dominate the pricing. If you think farming is so easy, when can you start. Don't whine about farmers when your belly, cupboards, and grocery stores are filled with cheap high quality food.
Don't forget the snow and terrible driving conditions. Not to mention the cold. We can go 200 days plus between 70 degree days. Most of the winter it rarely gets above freezing and many times the lows are below zero. This is 100 miles north of Chicago so one can imagine what it's like in farther north. If this sounds good to you, grab a shovel and head north by east.
Dr William Gray, Emeritus Professor of Atmospheric Sciences. MS in Meterology, PHD Geophysical Sciences, a man made climate change skeptic, debated Dr Kevin Trenberth, head of the Climate Analysis Section at the National Center For Atmospheric Research and climate alamist in a newpaper debate recently. Dr Trenberth, while not directly answering many of Dr Grays questions, had an interesting answer to the complaint that qualified scientists who are skeptics are not invited to climate discussions and events. Dr Trenberth said "Beliefs that are not consistent with the evidence discredit the person who continues with them, and such a person is less likely to be invited to participate in the events." Isn't science supposed to be looking at all sides? Dr Gray and others as competent as he is and have the credentials and publications to back them up, are told to stay home because their evidence doesn't agree with the prevailing opinion. With the prevailing view, and the potential money flow coming it's way, being the science is settled, whenever debate or discussion does happen to occur the Algores never want to discuss the science. They call the opposition stupid or incompetent. If their "facts" are so overwhelming, Al and his apostles would welcome every debate and challenge as an opportunity to destroy the opposition. Instead they claim the science is settled and there is no possible alternative scenario.

There is more to manufacturung flu vaccine than mixing a few chemicals together. It takes time to find the right mix, all flu strains are different and flu vaccine is not one size fits all, and when you consider hundreds of millions of doses need to be made and delivered it's a big project. slices is a typical ignorant instant gratification American. Everything is not available at the snap of your fingers as your warped mind thinks it should be so don't blame the government. Whether it be flu vaccine or that gallon of gasoline in your tank, if one bothered to actually research what it takes to get things manufactured and into our fat little hands they would not be so inclined to whine.
