failure likely caused more to starve especially in the absence of a social safety net during the herbert hoover years the fact that you and your buddies are so-called news are pushing these sort of lies just as congress is trying to cut billions of dollars from food stamp programs that very clearly. thomas jefferson once said that an enlightened citizenry is indispensable for the proper functioning of a republic self-government is not possible unless the citizens are educated sufficiently to enable them to exercise oversight it is therefore imperative that the nation see to it that a suitable education be provided for all its citizens have an enlightened an educated citizenry is a great ideal to strive for in theory but it can be very hard to achieve in practice this is especially true when those who are we are supposed to trust like her elected officials in washington d.c. choose to live the american people over and over again rather than tell us the truth when it comes to lion lawmakers republicans it turns out are the worst george mason university center for media and public affairs analyzed
