The government is becoming the family of last resort.

Summary

This quote implies that the role of the government is expanding to provide assistance and support for individuals and families in need, when their own families are unable or unwilling to do so. It suggests that the government is assuming a greater responsibility in taking care of its citizens' well-being, often stepping in as a last resort when other forms of family support are absent or inadequate. This may reflect a growing perception of the government's role in ensuring social welfare and protecting vulnerable populations in society.
