>> We are digging ourselves out of a major hole. The number of dependents will decrease as the recovery proceeds. Unfortunately, because of policies we have been implementing over the past 3 or 4 decades there aren't as many good paying jobs there used to be and we need to address that.

How does creating a nation of parasites "dig us out of a hole"?

It is one thing, when people are starving in the streets, to intervene as FDR did early on. It is quite another to institutionalize dependence on government.
