Republican commentator Scott Jennings wasted no time on Wednesday getting to the heart of why Democrats want no strings attached for Medicaid access. Jennings says Democrats are pro-government dependence, while Republicans are pro-hard work. In other words, Democrats are okay with lazy, able-bodied people lounging at home and getting Medicaid.

Self-sufficiency eradicates the ‘need’ for the Democrat Party.

Yes, it should, but being anti-dependence hurts Democrats’ electability.

Commenters say it’s easier for Democrats to go back to LBJ’s vision of dependence on government than one where Americans work for a living and are free.

That’s simple, the people gaming the system vote Democrat because the party allows them to do it in exchange for a lifetime of voting loyalty. If that’s taken away, the Democrat Party loses the votes they need to maintain power and control.
