[QUOTE="tRidiot, post: 1806744, member: 9374"] I dunno... I don't recall hearing about the .gov entitlements, handouts and enabling in the 50s-70s. Even in the 80s I don't think it was that prevalent. Sure seems to have exploded in the last 2 decades though. What is it, something near (or over) 50% of households get some kind of .gov assistance now? It's gotten so bad that being unable to read with otherwise average intelligence and no medical problems is sufficient to land one on disability these days. No joke. <edit> Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe the percentage of the population and the adjusted dollars spent on entitlements isn't any different than it was 60 years ago. I don't think so, though. But... I could be wrong. [/QUOTE]
