I know all you boohoo ers out there believe in "govt as caretaker", and that it's main purpose is coddling citizens and redistributing wealth as it sees fit. What hogwash.

All welfare type programs do is create generations of govt teat suckers who are slaves to federal largesse. What seems kind is actually terribly cruel.

The system thst made this country great is about equal opportunity, not equal outcome. The greater the safety net, the more lives are spent in mere survival mode. A terrible way of existence.
I totally see your point. I think what we are really paying for is bad decisions. Which I think is not fair. To make matter worst, the bad decision citizen can make more bad decisions and get more entitlements. It seems that is how it works, but I may be right.
