Welfare states then feel they're bring victimized somehow, like the chronic dependants in NO who refused to evacuate and then expected their government to save them and make all the mess go away overnight.

It was supposed to, but the U.S. decided to apply tarrifs and ignore the WTO and NAFTA rulings on the matter. What's the point of NAFTA if the U.S. isn't going to play by the rules?
