Hi: A colleague of mine was wondering about the origin of a statement he thinks he recalls someone making. It's something like this: "The United States will be the first country where people will drive to the poorhouse (welfare office?)". He's not sure of the precise quotation, but that's the general idea.

Does anyone recognize this or have any idea who said it?

Thanks.
