Unfortunately, that'll never happen, because our country has the mentality that so-called "handouts" to individuals are "socialism" or the product of a "welfare state", and people should succeed or fail on their own merits.

(Corporations, of course, are immune to this criticism; if a corporation fails, well then, a government handout is a necessity. That's not socialism, folks, that's strengthening our capitalist economy!)

I don't mean to be snarky, but are you agreeing with me? I had almost accepted the fact that we'd always have opposing opinions.
