"government hand out" is yet another term manufactured to divide us. The words we use make a difference. If you don't like the current emergency benefits programs, you should suggest ideas to your local governments.
Agreed.

Governments in the West have two ways of raising cash, taxes and borrowing. We're learning to our regret the problems of borrowing.
