Tell me its not true. Americans have proved by the people they elect they rather government handle their problems than themselves. We can trace this back all the way back to FDR.
Too scared to plan your own retirement? Social Security.
Too afraid that you wont be able to bay medical bills? Government run medical programs.
Can't afford your own house? Get forclosure help.
Got laid off and was not smart to save an emergency fund? Unemployment.
Need I go on? People much rather trust the omnipotent State than themselves. That is the problem.
No people have become dependent on those things because of gov. I actually think it is time for a Ron Paul type, I also believe FDR didn't do any good, I'm sure there is some things we agree on, but y'all are beating a dead horse with the bush ****.
