The GOP-controlled media's spin of "legacy costs" (pensions, etc) |
|
The use of the word "legacy costs" by the GOP-controlled media is always done in a negative way.
While everyone else understands that other countries cover their citizens with universal healthcare, in the United States, we have "legacy costs" and "entitlement programs."
Am I reading this right? Are we the only industrialized nation that sees investment in all citizens to be a burden?
