Conservatives have another view. We believe in the Constitution. Its not the job of the federal government to supply a social safety net. We are a Republic with a governing system based on federalism and states rights.
According to the Founders/Framers, each state can set up whatever system their citizens desire. Each state can choose to supply its citizens with everything from endless social welfare, to absolutely nothing, or some level in between.
After 40+ years of the Democrats created liberal welfare state, we’ve wasted trillions of dollars for nothing. The poverty rate in America is basically unchanged. Big government is not the answer.
I completely agree with you, let the states choose to help people the way they think is right. My point is limited help, no matter who supplies it. Either help yourself after a hand up, or not, its up to the individual. The easier it is to survive off of what is just given to you the more who will.
