For decades, Americans have been vaguely aware of the now $36 trillion millstone of federal debt around our collective necks. Historically, the abstraction of the national debt barely nudged the body politic to concern themselves with government spending. The electorate largely ignored it.

It was with good reason that Bill Clinton signed a bipartisan welfare reform bill in 1996, championed by Speaker Newt Gingrich, that restricted which immigrants could gain access to programs like food stamps, cash welfare, and Medicaid.

When you hear or read about Medicaid, one of the largest welfare programs in the U.S., the connection to Ernest Hemingway might not be immediately evident. However, a piece of wisdom from Hemingway’s character Jake in The Sun Also Rises applies to the challenges facing Medicaid today: “Getting something for nothing only delayed the presentation of the bill. The bill always came.”Nowhere is that sentiment truer than in the Medicaid program. And the bill is coming due in states around the country.

For most Americans, the old adage that “there is no such thing as a free lunch” represents enduring wisdom and ask-your-grandpa common sense. Rational minds know that something might look “free,” but the bill always comes due eventually. There’s no doubt that Joe Biden has heard the saying. He probably remembers when it first went viral. But he seems to have lost the wisdom of that phrase somewhere along the way – along with the rest of his marbles.

AMAC Exclusive – By Sam AdolphsenThe latest and greatest Biden boondoggle makes his twisted priorities clear: he cares more about foreigners and prisoners than he does our nation’s elderly and disabled citizens. As the country bumps up against the debt ceiling and House Republicans attempt to rein in out-of-control spending, Biden is wandering further down the path to socialism. Maybe he saw an ice cream cone off in the distance.
