I think all those laws passed under FDR made dependents of all of us.  Would you get rid of Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and the rest?   bill w

 

Those programs are a good lesson in not allowing the Federal government keep taking on more stuff.  It isn’t paying for what it is already trying to do.  In the easily-foreseeable future, Social Security, Medicare etc will transition to pay-as-you-go.  Just before that happens, most will see it coming.  No one will want to work in government.  Everything will be different.
