Social Security and Medicare are paid for by the people, through taxes withheld, so they are not entitlements and helped create the middle class.
both of them are a ponzi scheme, and as far as social security is concerned, it inhibits rather than increases the growth of the middle class.
If you are opposed to welfare, than pay everyone that works full time a living wage.
if i am opposed to keeping people in poverty i must instead make sure that they are unemployed in massive numbers?
Improving the lot of Americans is an admirable accomplishment, and the people rewarded FDR for it by electing him 3 times.
Even today, as I have referenced above, he is still considered one of the top 3 presidents, ahead of Thomas Jefferson.
:shrug: well, no one recently has accused the American people of being too up on their history, and a significant percentage are ideologically committed to pretending like all of the consequences of the FDR's programs were somehow beyond his control.
