As you said we are watching the result of fiscal irresponsibility in Puerto Rico, California, Illinois, New York. What I didn't quite understand was the levels we have reached across the country regarding welfare dependence.

What is causing the increase in government dependency?
The increase is mostly from an explosion in means-tested entitlements designed to help those in poverty. There is no doubt that these programs help, but have they reached a point where they perpetuate poverty rather than assist it?
