One thing that annoys me about US politics is that the compromise between right and left is often to fund a social program but strictly means-test it to limit eligibility to only the poorest 10% (and then add difficult administrative requirements so few of them actually use it). Republicans agree to it because it’s cheaper and Democrats agree to it because they want to help the most disadvantaged groups.

The means-tested programs become more expensive to administer and only a fraction of the intended group actually benefit from them. The end result is the vast majority of Americans don’t care about most public programs because they understand it’s not something they’ll ever use.  For the few programs that everyone expects to receive (social security, Medicare, etc.), people are just as fiercely protective of them as Europeans are of universal healthcare.

Nah fuck that, give me my 6.2% of my income back, I'll gladly waive Social Security and save it for my own retirement.
