The government should get credit when the government does something good, and the people should get credit when the people do something good.

But the government is supposed to be the people, so the point is moot.
Besides, the government gets tons of credit when it does well. It's just been very rare these days.

I agree with you on the teaching a man to fish vs. feeding him a fish. But you don't learn to fish instantly, and you need something to eat when you're learning. Welfare should not be used as a long-term solution to a person's problems, but it's still important to have as a short-term way to keep their head above water until they can solve their own problems.

I don't disagree with you at all on this. Unfortunately, though, welfare has become an end unto itself. I have a problem with that.
