And to you its original purpose was?
Sorry I’m not a mind reader and I want to make sure we have all the variables agreed upon…
It was a safety mechanism put in place to aid people who were completely wiped out in the Depression- now, we can argue the merit of this government expansion under FDR….but that was the purpose.
It wasn’t meant to be a perpetual entitlement.
