I'm not assuming about you using a really pathetic excuse of a logical fallacy. You are not getting the basic concept that your parents' opinions mean nothing as far as proof. A reasonable person would provide data or research beyond their family's opinion, or do more than state baseless claims as facts. You really ought to learn what logic is all about, because you have none. Circular reasoning is not a fact. You are the last person to tell anyone to look at the big picture, your support for your view is the adoption of the opinion of your parents. And you should be the last person to tell anyone to do research or open books for the same reason.
Maybe stop being a chav, and reason like an intelligent or educated person.
Maybe explain why the existence of government programs forces people to give up all passions and goals in life. That'd be a place to start. There should be a hand up instead of a handout, which is why you see many periods of economic growth be paired with job training programs. People don't just magically become skilled and hired. And our educational system is troublesome in many areas and for several reasons. Maybe you should see the big picture and stop saying that the existence of government programs does not force people to give up all else and live off of them.
More importantly, to my former post, think to yourself what the US would be like if it didn't invest in agricultural education, development, and research & technology. We'd have far more people farming on smaller plots of land and less ability for them to study other subjects. What if we didn't support aviation, or space programs, or medical research to cure diseases. What if we didn't invest and invent the internet? California would be a certainly different place without Silicon Valley. Heck, we probably wouldn't be able to be on a forum with our own computers if the US didn't pursue technology and innovation. There'd wouldn't be the jobs that these things created and lower standards of living that innovation has enabled. If we didn't educated and train our population in the things required to develop the country, we'd be behind where we are today.
If you like history so much, consider all of the major "ages" in the history of man and how something as basic as their mastering of materials could lead to the rise or fall of civilizations and victory over less technically skilled groups. Better, faster, stronger combat tools may have been crucial through a lot of human development, but now the materials, technology, and knowledge for manufacturing and efficiency of our systems is important to remaining competitive - and these things take good STEM educations. The loss of technical edge over the last 140 years has had significant impact on the UK.

It's hard to keep up with other countries when education isn't fostering the population's abilities and R&D spending is plummeting. But keep blaming the governmental welfare programs as the cause instead of the result.
