No, I did not mean a 'Welfare State', I meant a State that instead of looking after the welfare of its people, the Citizenry, it looks after the welfare of its Corporations like, for example, Pharmaceuticals, Food Processors, Military Contractors, Banks and so on, all at the expense of the taxpayers, who invariably are forced to bail these enterprises out when they make bad and/or dangerous investment which gets them into financial problems.
In a real democracy, if an enterprise makes a fatal mistake, looking disaster into the eye, they can and should go bankrupt. That is the rule of capitalism, in a true democracy. Once the Government takes sides and uses taxpayer monies to keep failed enterprises afloat, one looks at the workings of a Corporate Welfare State. Considering that masses of the working class are forced to sleep in their cars, or worse, sleep in whatever place they can find, a corporate bailout adds insult to their injury.
More insulting yet is the free money supply, by their Government, to foreign countries to finance, for example, the Government of Ukraine and its current war, as reported, Genocide in Gaza, yearly money supplies to Israel to support this 'Apartheid State', Egypt and others as a matter of routine. All of this while poverty is rampant at the home front. The infrastructure needs major upgrades and repairs yet the people elected and in power don't care apparently.
Other countries, like China for example, outperform the home economy, and thus became the enemy because they make the local leadership look bad. The mantra is 'if you cannot outperform them destroy them'. This is not only a stupid plan but also very costly as it helps to diminish the local economy even more. A military economy adds to the national debt and many countries that took that route lived to regret it.
It appears that the Congress has abdicated their responsibilities under the U.S. Constitution and let the President reign like a king. Where are these checks and balances?
Bernie Sanders is still the lone voice in the wilderness!
Bernie knows the need at home is great and instead of addressing the problems facing the Citizenry, their tax dollars are misapplied for the wrong reasons. Nowadays politicians use public funds to fight their private wars around the world, against the people’s wishes and contra to the Constitutional requirements.
All the compromised members of Congress should bow their heads in shame. You may ask why? Just follow the link below and you will know.
