63: We Are People 1

Social Safety Nets and the Poverty Trap

The hosts debate the merits of social safety nets, arguing that the traditional net of family and church has been replaced by inefficient government programs. They suggest that welfare should be a short-term tool for retooling rather than a "hammock" that encourages perpetual poverty. The segment links the "feminist mindset" to a "communist mindset" of dependency.
