re: #125 DaddyG

The quote is mine. The sentiment of “doing nothing” is not. You are arguing with an imaginary DaddyG.

There’s that darned social component: when it gets so bad that children are going unfed and not getting educated, we have a long-term problem on our hand.

That’s what it came to during the Great Depression, and the responses we came up to that situation have pretty much set the template for government intervention ever since.
