Who is responsible for drug abuse?

To my mind, there is no question.
It is the drug abusers themselves who are responsible for their use of drugs.
Nobody held a gun to their heads and forced them to consume a drug.
It was their free-will choice that led to them consuming a drug.
It was their choice, and theirs alone, that led to that bad decision.

This is a pure case of individual responsibility.
It is way past time to hold people responsible for their choices.

The entitled

Who are "the entitled"?

Obviously there are different definitions of that.
But I would like to nominate those who feel entitled to having the federal government subsidize their health insurance premiums.

Why on earth should the federal government be subsidizing the grossly excessive spending on healthcare?
If people need so much healthcare, let them pay for it themselves.

Let us be clear on where the burden for all this enormously excessive spending on healthcare is falling.
It is on the next generation, on whom the enormous debt caused by this spending falls.

In my view, the #1 problem in the U.S. isn't the lack of federal subsidies for healthcare spending, 
but rather the excessive national spending on healthcare.
