As a lifelong liberal, I've come to the conclusion that people need to be responsible for themselves, and as liberals, we're never honest in regards to how many people really have themselves to blame for their situation. Not all, but many. I've learnt that from experience.

And I agree 100% with him. He makes it clear in his first sentence he favors programs that help people who need it and so do I. So I have no idea why you say that people like him, and me, are the real problem with America.
