- samhwr 5y ago> One must keep in mind that the United States is and near or more always has been a welfare state. > If one must keep that in mind, may one ask what definition of "welfare state" has applied to the USA since its founding? The contention was definitely whether it has been a welfare state ever since its founding. No judgement though - the English language is terribly poorly designed, so I can totally understand how you read it that way.
