How does a Conservative explain thier support of Public Education,Social Security and Medicare?

[neuroticwilly]

our public schools system is turning out intelligent, but undereducated students every graduation day; the school administrators, and the NEA officials should be imprisoned for this travesty! i feel sorry for the kids and the parents who pay, and pay higher property taxes,to get very little return for the investment that they have made for their kids. social security cannot be fixed; it's been a liberal piggy bank to fund boondoggles almost since it's inception. that's how we paid for the "great society"! medicare is a great idea; if government would get it's fingers out of it the program, it could be salvageable. let the health professionals make the decisions here, not barney frank! but, there's too much money for the taking as is the case in all of these programs!
