J.D. Tuccille: American Self-Reliance is Diminishing
Manage episode 443576379 series 3548891
America has found itself at a crossroads as an increasing number of its citizens become dependent on government transfers. This shift, driven largely by an aging population and expanding entitlement programs, is reshaping the political landscape and challenging long-held notions of American self-reliance. As government payments become a larger share of personal income across the country, questions arise about the sustainability of this trend and its implications for economic dynamism and individual liberty. J.D. Tuccille from Reason dives into how this growing independence affects the future of American democracy and the relationship between the government and the governed.
