To me, it's to cover what the individual CANNOT. It does not include what the individual can do, but does not want to.
Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and most every other big government program is designed to simply leave a weaker individual desirous of more from big brother.
And with each new program, each new spending spree, the individual is weaker both for his own decrease in self-reliance AND for the increased tax burden he faces to pay for them.
This problem, of course, isn't owned exclusively by the federal government, but also by states, by counties, by cities.
New York City over the last year under the leadership of perpetual elitist nanny Michael Bloomberg has encroached on the choices and rights of its citizens by mandating what they can and cannot eat, making it illegal for fast food restaurants to locate within a certain distance of schools, and raising cigarette taxes yet again.
Yet, in the last few days, as a blizzard has halted much activity in the northeast, New York residents have found the city unable to fulfill an actual responsibility: CLEARING CITY STREETS OF SNOW! Now, of course, they're upset. You can take salt from a Liberal's food, apparently, but they do get upset when you fail to put it on their roads.
Now, because of government's failure to clear and salt streets, two are dead. Liberalism, as many have known, KILLS, both the spirit, the soul and the body.
And when government does 'work', watch out.
Too bad these idiot New York Liberals always fail to connect the dots which got them here, will lead to more and more problems down the road. And, eventually, bankruptcy.
The government you empower to run your life is the government you empower to ruin it.
