Todd, Just what would "dependence on government" look like to you?
Would you say that a person or a family that has no resources, and does not have a paying job, and whose sole means of support is government programs, such as welfare and or food stamps is dependent on government?.....I would.

I agree with McCarthy's premise, "The New Deal and its Great Society successor programs, by contrast, are frauds designed to create permanent dependency on government (and fealty to the party of government)." and the data in this article in The American Thinker supports it.
