I doubt that Roosevelt intended for Welfare turning into what it has become - being abused. The nation was in a whole different place when it was created.

No, but he certainly had a philosophy that set it all in motion.

Well, Civilian Conservation Corps (part of FDR's "New Deal") was a good idea at the time. It was "welfare", but welfare you had to work for. My father did it--went off to Fort Collins Colo and hauled and debarked pine trees to build some kind of structures in state and national parks. Pay was dismal--I think about $30/month and $25 of it had to go home to their family (wife/kids or parents). They did some good things here in Texas. Built state parks like Bastrop, Balmorea, and Goliad.
LBJ took that premise and just ctrl/alt/del the work part, and that's how we ended up where we are today.

But that still doesn't explain the price of Camels.

C. Everet Koop ran the price up to make you quit buying them.
That was his way of doing your thinking for you and making your decisions for you.
