As struggling students, my husband and I often ate mustard and onion sandwiches for dinner. Our parents experienced the Great Depression and grew their own food. Today, there are food stamps.
I’m not challenging the idea that hungry people need help to get by sometimes. I'm also not saying that being poor is easier now than it was then.
I'm just saying that in today's culture of abundant government programs, there is less incentive to become self reliant--and that's not a good thing.
