Conservatives were so happy about it. But all the while the permanent disability rolls were expanding. Finally people started to notice. The racket has merely changed venues. A small percentage of welfare recipients went to work, but a far larger number learned to game the permanent disability system. It has been steadily expanding ever since.

This is just a spin job. Back it up with time series data.

How about this. I asked you to name one serious problem the USA has faced over the past 22 yrs that DC has fixed. You said welfare. Another term for welfare is ‘government dependence’. Today government dependence is at all time, historic, epidemic, catastrophic, economy-crushing/killing levels. That is my exact point. When DC ‘fixes’ something, the problem ends up being a 1000x worse.
