That is true, and that would be a great thing for R/R to include in their interviews. This wonderful safety net will not be there if we don’t get government spending under control.
Of those on government checks, it is not just moochers. Some need help, others are on social security, which they paid for. Others are on disability or unemployment and not happy about it. Then, there is a huge chunk of people milking the system.
We know we won’t get the votes of the later group, but we can get the majority of every other group. If the economy implodes, the safety net is going to be gone. The Dem/media are going to pretend all is peachy keen and just scare people about everything being taken away. The fact is, endless government is the only thing that threatens the real safety net. No one is talking about ending or cutting any legitimate aid. We need to a growth economy to reduce independence from the government, we need to clean up the waste, and we need to change the 50 year old Medicare program and 80 year old social security program so that it survives and doesn’t bankrupt the country. We need to get back to being aggressive on these issues, and get off the defensive.
That is the supreme irony. Obamanites on the dole will be voting against their own long-run interests.
