My one-minute reply is that it fits just fine. When it was for small farmers it was a New Deal program, but no longer... Huh? There was nothing in your post here: Simply put, entitlements are bad for us, and more generally, the New Deal programs made us lazy, and those of the Great Society made us stupid (to spend so much); and therefore, they all must be dismantled as soon as practicable. If the US treasury is emptied by means of a war, this could sound the death knell that they have long hoped for. So from their standpoint, they have governed “properly” during their tenure. which says nothing about welfare being bad only for little farmers or poor people. Is that what you really meant to say? Welfare is very much alive and well under the Republicans. Indeed, farm welfare is one of the largest welfare programs around. The fact that it is welfare for the rich rather than the poor is very Republican. But it is still welfare.
