"..........Certainly the last six years have been dreadfuleconomically — from older workers whose factory and other blue-collar jobs have vanished to young people struggling to find that first job that will let them launch their career. But it would be a tragedy if we were to build an infrastructure that sees expansion of entitlement programs as the future. If we do, we will have an even more difficult time moving beyond our current economic troubles to once again envision a bright economic future with financial independence, not dependency, as the goal.
Abraham Lincoln celebrated the dignity of work as an avenue toward self-fulfillment. The purpose of work is to support ourselves and our families, of course.

Welfare is correct too. Many will pay more to subsidize others.
