If there is one time in my life that drove me mentally to never get there again was back in the day when first in the Army with a newborn and wife. We shared an apple, and I stole some hotdogs from the mess hall to get by for a few days so the baby could have formula until the next payday which only came once a month in those days. We did that willingly, asking nobody for help. That experience of being hungry for several days molded my brain to never get into that situation again no matter what it took. Hardship certainly does build character in some, but also develops dependance on help from others that don't have the willingness to help themselves through the tough times which is what Tanis was referring to. During the depression, Tanis was exactly right. The dimocratic party as we know it today and the model of citizens it produced is the current crop of those depending on the government it produced generations later. Now that Trump has shown the nation he can create jobs for minorities, they are suddenly realizing they can get off the welfare rolls and there are jobs out there to be had for those that want them, without having to rely on handouts that .gov provides willingly to create a welfare class. Now there is hope where before there was no hope. Living in poverty was the only life they knew and the dimocrat party made sure it stayed that way.</blockquote>
