- malandrew 7y agoThis is one of the reasons I like to share this quote. Even the godfather of the welfare state was aware of the negative consequences of sustained welfare. That's an order of magnitude greater awareness of the unintended consequences of these policies that people pushing these policies today understand. It's good to show them that even their welfare state idol was aware that welfare is not some unassailable panacea.
