Too many fail to see the actual damage government does to recipients of welfare. Largess without controlling for laziness harms both the giver and receiver. And distributing other people's money lacks the discipline of pain infliction on one's self when distributing one's own money.

Agreed. I think that’s why Alexander Tytler put dependency as the last step before bondage in his cycle of democracy.

Biden and Obama represent the worst possibilities in American leadership.... Career politicians intent on subverting the Constitution to serve their interests. Biden was apparently born that way, a natural liar. Obama was a quick learner.

Maybe a combo of the two? I don’t understand why anyone would want to be dependent on the government, but I was also raised by a fiercely independent father.

💯 Term limits + requirements for candidates to have experience in the private sector (real world) might help weed out politicians like Biden and Obama to run for office.
