We ALL would be better off if “root hog or die” had been the catch phrase instead of a “hand up.”

I’m sorry, I have no sympathy for those who are unwilling to help themselves!

We now have multiple generations of entire families on the dole. UNCONSCIONABLE!

I don’t often agree with FDR, but he got this right: “The Federal Government must and shall quit this business of relief.”

When will that happen?

When the government goes broke. Of course that will be after they go after everyone’s 401k’s.

I guess I could try to be an optimist. IIRC Reagan got a lot of people off the welfare dole. And in Maine just a few months ago they made people show up to work (picking up litter, etc) if they wanted to collect food stamps. It was amazing how many people got off the program when Maine started enforcing things.
