Pat Buchanan: "Barack Obama Is A Drug Dealer Of Welfare"
"Barack Obama, in my judgment, is a Fabian socialist," conservative commentator and author Patrick J. Buchanan said on tonight's broadcast of "On the Record" on the FOX News Channel. "You saw the redistribution, and by that I mean he's not Bernie Sanders who is out in the open and honest about it, but he's a Fabian socialist who wants to move through gradualism and reform step by step until a majority of Americans are dependent upon government. When that happens the party of government wins every election."
"One in every five people are on food stamps," Buchanan said. "This is just it. The whole idea, we used to have -- read] FDR talking about -- you know, relief being a narcotic, a subtle destroyer of the human spirit. We have to get off this welfare is what he said."
"And in that sense, if it's a narcotic, Barack Obama is a drug dealer of welfare," Buchanan declared. "He wants permanent dependency, in my judgment, of all those folks on the federal -- somehow getting benefits, benefits, benefits and paying no taxes. Now, I think you've got -- Gov. Romney is the complete opposite. We believe in temporary help for anybody that's in trouble. You should have a floor of decency under every family."
"Unemployment should be temporary," Buchanan said. "Unemployment benefits should be. Food stamps should be temporary. What are we doing with 47 million people permanently have to be fed by the government?"
