Housing Secretary Ben Carson Says Poverty Is A 'State Of Mind'

[*bfine32*]

I think everybody can agree that we need to help those who need it; however, who determines who needs it and how much do they need?

If anyone thinks there aren't folks out there giving 100% and still struggling then they are idiots. likewise, if anyone thinks there aren't folks out there capable of supporting themselves that would rather let the government do it; they too, are idiots.

I disagree with Ben's assertion that poverty is a state of mind as it is not. Now being miserable, thinking the government owes you more, and/or choosing to let the government support you and your family when you are fully capable, now that's a state of mind.

I've seen opponents call this budget the "immoral budget"; but it is designed to reduce spending. What is moral about continually going deeper in debt and leaving future generations with the bill?
