Truthfully, that is NOT exactly what he said, but there is a point to my headline: Democrats think that social obligations should be fulfilled by the government.
The social insurance state was not originally intended to substitute government for family and church assistance to people in need but as a backstop to ensure that people without others to assist them didn’t fall through the cracks. All else failing, the government would ensure that nobody starved to death or was left to rot on the side of the road.
Civilized societies do not view people as disposable; smart societies do not try to substitute bureaucracy for the much more enlivening love and community that are necessary to sustain us.
Wow. @Tim_Walz claims his mother waits for her social security check every month to feed herself.
Tim has a net worth of over $1 million, and yet has his 90 year old mom depending on her…
