    I grew up in an extremely rural area in the 80s and I saw it then, too. The wildest thing was to hear all these people ripping on welfare, constantly.

    Meanwhile, I think government programs of one type or another propped up most of the area. But people that were collecting it didn’t seem to realize or want to admit that they were benefactors of welfare.

    Nope, it’s only “welfare” if it was going to “those people” in the cities, you see.
