Any literature on "dependence on welfare" does not actually
exist. States that provide stronger benefits and stronger
programs -- the social safety net -- have better population
health.

"Dependence on health promotion programs", especially healthy
public policy, should be something that we all strive for!

*************************************************************
In the early hours I read in the paper of epoch-making
projects
On the part of pope and sovereigns, bankers and oil barons.
With my other eye I watch
The pot with the water for my tea
The way it clouds and starts to bubble and clears again
And overflowing the pot quenches the fire.

 -- Bertolt Brecht
