Is that really the mentality you want the US to adopt? Free money? Isn't that the ugly side of the welfare State? I'm willing to give people money. Mind you, I don't think it's a proper role of the federal government nor is it in our national interest. But I don't want anyone to starve. My line in the sand is calling it an entitlement (in the common sense of the word), which is what the welfare state does. Call it charity and I'm willing to compromise with the statists and provide handouts.
