I think welfare, on a national scale, has been an epic disaster. Welfare should be done locally if possible. States should be the ‘largest’ welfare regulators, not Federal. Welfare costs and taxes are to great, people move away from the states.
You can do California, NY, Illinois, New Mexico, and Minnesota, but you have to do it all with state taxes.
Agreed. But convince 51% of voters of that.
Blame Nixon’s revenue sharing. The states cannot print or borrow unlimited money. The Fed’s can. That is Nixon revenue sharing in a nut shell.
We borrow money from our grandchildren. Out grandchildren will have to print a lot of money to payback what we borrowed.
