You really believe that?
Let's see:
- Poverty as near-record highs.
- Food stamp usage, up to nearly 50 million from 32 million
- Unemployment benefits, being given indefinitely, basically paying people to not work
- Encouraging illegal aliens to come over and putting them on the government dole.
- Blatant destruction of the nuclear family, encouraging more single motherhood, which leads to the aforementioned poverty and food stamp usage.
- ObamaCare
- Encouraging a mentality that people are entitled to other people's money.
That sounds like a welfare state to me.
