Funny. There are more people living under bridges and in alleys than in Eisenhower’s presidency, before the entitlement programs began. With these programs, we have lost the frontier mindset of total responsibility. NOT just responsibility for one’s self (which is hard for some to relate to), but RATHER that we are all in this together, and have a shared responsibility for our neighbor, our fellow man. I’m frankly more worried about the psychology of America than the entitlements – and I’m plenty worried about that. People will always need help – but not for the government to do it, it should always be a personal issue, a local issue. And a society that values selfishness cannot do it.
