at the point you said this
> an example of why spending big on social programs doesn't produce long-lasting social benefits.
which is not a statement of opinion, but rather, is an unjustified assertion that conforms with your ideological agenda.
an opinion would have been something like "I prefer to vote for politicians that are fiscally conservative because I don't think the government has a good track record of implementing positive social change with spending programs"
but that's now what you said or how you said it. instead, you implied that social programs ANYWHERE AND EVERYWHERE are comparable in some meaningful way with a failed state that collapsed under the weight of corruption and authoritarian dictatorship.
