Part of the right-wing fantasy is that welfare and food charities didn't exist until the 1960s.

Early American patterns of publicly funded poor relief emerged mainly from the English heritage of early settlers. The policies and practices of aiding the poor current in England when the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth, Massachusetts were shaped primarily by the Elizabethan Poor Laws of 1594 and 1601, and the Law of Settlement and Removal of 1662.

That is my favorite Frost quote. And if you had my neighbors, you'd understand why.

Frost could say, "Elves." but it's not elves exactly and he wishes you'd say it for yourself.
