“It was a long-term investment.”

When a robber puts a gun to your head and takes your money just remember....

“It was a long term investment.”

Yes. What a “hero” FDR was. We’re unable to extricate ourselves from his programs all these years later.

Like welfare as a “bridge” with the sad worker trying to reach the dignity of being employed again and respecting himself or herself as they get to the other end of the welfare bridge.

Paul Harvey once had a talk where he said people used to be ashamed of having to accept welfare or unemployment money (shamefully going “on the dole”) and tried to hide it from relatives and neighbors and the people at church. Now as he said they are called entitlements and people loudly demand “Where is my government money? I am entitled to it.”
