[quote name='Xevious']I'm reading this thread/feud between dafoomie and Michaellvortega and I will have to agree with both of them for different cases.
I actually know I guy who was in the Marines and part of his face was blown off. He had to get reconstructive surgery to fix his face. I thought it was something that tax money should pay for. After all, he was putting himself in mortal danger for the United States.
If a woman gets her breast shot off...She should be allowed reconstructive surgery too. I see no problem with that.
What I didnt like was the fact the article seem to mention Liposuction. Liposuction is an elective surgery and I really cant think of a compelling reason why this should be on the taxpayers dime.[/quote]
In no way is this a feud It's just a difference of opinion. I myself believe in making sure everyone is OK before you go the extra mile for yourself. Everyone is going to have different views and takes on stuff but that is what makes the USA great, because we can express those views.
I just wish the government would spend money more wisely. Maybe some of you have a lot of money but I'm a middle class 22 year old and semi-struggling to make it through college. Everyday I see stupid stuff like people eating out of trash cans or people with kids in the winter with no jackets, no shoes. It just hurts me to see that stuff, especially with kids

and someone gets liposuction or a boob job on my dime. Milwaukee is not even a poor city so I can only imagine other towns/citys/countrys. If we let stuff like
"unneeded" surgery slide, what's next hookers for congress men?
