That was definitely the sort of thing I
was talking about. Hut it was going in the
wrong direction, it seems that all this gov
crnmcnt welfare to big business can't
just be doled out to an ever-increasing
national debt because that would be fis
cally irresponsible - something our presi
dent has sworn faithfully not to do. So, in
order to have a balanced budget, insure a
healthy economy and provide for the com
mon needs of the huge conglomerates,
there have been certain adjustments in the
way entitlements arc considered in housing
allotments. Food stamps and housing will
now get smaller allotments.
There's also been what Ronald Reagan
himself has called "tragic" unemployment.
He probably feels even worse about the re
ductions in housing allotments.
It seems to me, what with all this mon
ey not going to the poor, workers and stu
dents, and in view of all the consideration
and money-saving the government was do
ing for IBM, ITT and AT&T, welfare capi
talism is the wrong term.
Welfare state comes the closest. It is "a
social system based upon the assumption
of a political state of primary responsibili
ty for the individual and social welfare of
its citizens usually by the enactment of
specific public policies (as health and un
employment insurance, minimum wages
and prices, and subsidies to agriculture,
housing and other segments of the econo
my) and their implementation directly by
government agencies."
I especially liked the part about "...
and other segments of the economy." I
thought you might even be able to fit those
big corporations in there. But just to be
safe, I coined the term corporate welfare.
Which is all the above kinds of welfare ex
cept that giant corporations get more help
and the aged and indigent get less help than
they did before. (Makes you wish you were
a large corporation, doesn't it? And glad
you're not old and poor yet.)
When corporate welfare is working most
efficiently, as in the AT&T case, there is
immediate transfer of burdens from the
large corporations-in-need to those who
thought they had it bad already but arc
learning all the time how much worse
things can get.
And that's corporate welfare.
Now, why, you may ask, do we need
another game? And especially one with so
many letters? Well, President Reagan may
be there manning the safety net under So
cial Security night and day (And thank
God he is, I say. Can you imagine how bad
things could get if he went out to lunch?),
but we can't expect one man to do it all
(see dictatorships above.) We all have to
help plug the leaks in the Language Net.
