The welfare people have destroyed our American economy. They drove the good-paying factory jobs out of the country and made it difficult for the businesses that stayed here to survive. They didn’t do it deliberately or out of malice. They did it out of ignorance and their desire to live at someone else’s expense.

The federal government used the welfare people for the government expansion. When government expands, prosperity shrinks. Government expansion includes interference in businesses. The interferences include great masses of regulations and anti-business laws.

Government used debt to finance its great expansions. Debt didn’t affect the taxpayers as much as increased taxes would have.
