You can thank LBJ for that. The war on poverty has created something similar to the Palestinian Refugee camps, where generations of individuals live and die as victims of an invisible oppressor.
Rewarding people for indolence creates a people who thrive on it, but can survive nowhere else.
I firmly believe that future history (assuming we survive long enough as a species) will identify FDR and LBJ as two of the WORST politicians in the life of the USA, in view of the long term effects of their grandiose policies.
This of course also assumes that OBcare eventually is dismantled after he is tossed out of the WH. If THAT doesn’t happen, well then OB joins the other two pathetic monsters ...... well, come to think of it, OB might have already assured himself a place in that company ..... based just on what he HAS accomplished so far.
