No, "the great society" encouraged the use of big government to help out the impoverished rural areas and they grew addicted. At one time 30% of the population was getting food stamps.

I can't think of one program they didn't turn down as long as it had matching fed money attached to it. They took up reverse direction turn outs for federal $$$ because some study said it reduced accidents, they are everywhere.

Now things are so bad, we are loosing a mill a week and there aren't too many left.

Then catholic charities decided they could make money off the somali immigrants, so here they came.

Universal Health Care is next (Dirigo health), it is being "paid for" by a shift in free care $$$ and a 4% tax on health insurance. When that doesn't work it comes out of general revenue.

Then there is Olympia Snowe who is angry because she considers tax cuts an expense to government, and can't understand the concept of tax cuts and why can't you give tax cuts to people who don't pay taxes. Remember only 50% of the population of Maine works. Of those that work, 30% don't earn enough to pay federal tax. I think you get the idea.
