Until those entitlements include free houses and cars for everyone 17 and up, they won’t drive any economic growth. While Welfarians are desirable customers because of their ignorance, immobility and fad-following, in the end they just don’t have much money to spend. Bodegas make a mint selling them more food than they need, but they aren’t lining up at car dealerships...
I like the term "Welfarians." Is it yours? Can I borrow it?
I really like that term. I'm going to use it and see if it catches on. I will of course give you credit. May your FR handle become as well known as "Buckhead" and "Aliveritas."
