Topic: Warfare State

Proposed changes to Social Security would allow Mexican citizens who work briefly in the U.S. to claim benefits, a move criticized as unsustainable for the system. This policy is viewed as part of a broader "welfare state" that, along with the "warfare state," places an undue financial burden on American taxpayers. The argument is made that the U.S. cannot be compelled to finance the world's needs at the expense of its own solvency.
