"The lessons of history, confirmed by the evidence immediately before me, show conclusively that continued dependence upon relief induces a spiritual and moral disintegration fundamentally destructive to the national fiber. To dole out relief in this way is to administer a narcotic, a subtle destroyer of the human spirit"
-- Franklin Delano Roosevelt, 1935 State of the Union address

We are definitely addicted as a nation to the doling out of public moneys. And, just as the heroin addict, we need increasingly larger amounts of the drug to get the same effect. Evidently the US has an insatiable lust for easy/free money from everyone's favorite sugar daddy: Uncle Sam.
