Wilson’s Budget Proposals
Gov. Pete Wilson refuses to recognize that the blind cannot see, the lame cannot walk and the poorly educated cannot cope. Welfare to him is a Willie Horton campaign slogan and education is for the affluent.
Perhaps if he had experienced the Depression of the 1930s he would realize that individual states cannot cope with a serious depression. Let him and the other governors set reasonable limits on aid to citizens, who migrate from state to state, presenting these limits to the Congress and the President as the cost of their ineptitude.
What made Franklin Roosevelt great was that he recognized a national problem and accepted the responsibility of the federal government for the welfare of all citizens.
