It doesn't mean those programs don't need money or aren't important to the people whose lives they affect. I know we can't pay for everything but do you know how much of "YOUR money" goes towards it. I assure you it's an insanely insignificant amount compared to defense spending, social security, medicare, etc. Aren't there other programs worth rallying against and fixing before we pull money from the industry we all work in?
