>>>
Not only did Reagan free up the government from the supposed harassing of the enterprising class, as he liked to call them, he also began to accelerate the spending of the “seed corn” as one writer has called it that the liberal tradition had used to finance its agendas through the decades since Roosevelt had come to power. Social security had been Franklin Roosevelt’s greatest achievement and both the conservatives and the liberals had been spending the reserves set aside to finance it through the generations to help balance the budgets that were almost perpetually in the red from the mid sixties forward.

Small wonder I never followed Mr. Taylor.
He ain't too bright.

Budgets perpetually in the red from the mid sixties on . . .

What happened about then? What has only grown and gotten more expensive
since then?

The birth of the Welfare State.

Oh, yes, we had the Vietnam War . . brought to U.S. by democrats.
And we had the Space Race to the Moon. Also brought about by democrats.

But, War has interesting technological improvements spinning off. As
did the Space Race. Welfare? Just a black hole money is shoveled into.

Now I'll agree that a small amount of welfare is a good thing. But
multiple generations of able bodies people living off the largesse of
the taxpayers . . .

Zim.
