It was actually FDR that started us down the road to a welfare state but LBJ made that an expressway. FDR gets credited with creating Social Security and LBJ brought us Medicare but they also doomed them to failure by FDR starting the tradition of spending the surplus to hide the cost of his war and LBJ rolling the whole thing into the general fund to hide the cost of his war. Now they are simply unfunded welfare programs. |

Now they are simply unfunded welfare programs. === At least in theory, Social Security was supposed to be an insurance and retirement savings program. That's not welfare in my book but obviously it has morphed over time. There was no actual investment component so it was really a Ponzi. As long as intake exceeded outflow, it was great, but so was Bernie Madoff's scam. In FDR's time, the demographics worked, In LBJs time, not so much. |
