A very famous leader said the following. Who was it?
The Federal Government must and shall quit this business of relief.....The lessons of history, confirmed by the evidence immediately before me, show conclusively that continued dependence upon relief induces a spiritual disintegration fundamentally destructive to the national fiber. To dole our relief in this way is to administer a narcotic, a subtle destroyer of the human spirit. It is inimical to the dictates of a sound policy. It is in violation of the traditions of America.

I believe I'm right in saying that Jefferson was a firm believer in limited government (see strict constructionist) if for no other reason that he didn't want outsiders meddling in his own plantation.

This is so funny, considering he went on to create all the alphabet agencies and all that social welfare! Ah. well, tell the people what they want to hear, and then once you're in office, do what you want!
