Conservative Politician: Social welfare programs are destroying our country. These programs are not only adding to the annual deficit, which increases the national debt, but they also discourage hard work. Our country must continue producing leaders who bootstrap their way to the top. None of our country' s citizens truly need assistance from the government; rather, the assistance just makes things easier. Liberal Politician: Our great country is founded on the principle of hope. The country is built on the backs of immigrants who came here with nothing, except for the hope of a better life. Our country is too wealthy not to provide basic necessities for the less fortunate. Recent immigrants, single mothers, historically disenfranchised, disabled persons, and the elderly all require an ample safety net. What is the main point of dispute between the politicians? ["All of the country 's leaders have bootstrapped their way to the top.", 'Certain classes of people rely on social welfare programs to meet their basic needs.', 'Certain classes of people would be irreparably harmed if the country failed to provide a social welfare program.', 'Spending on social welfare programs increases the national debt.']
