Republican Congressman Don Young Blames Alaska's High Suicide Rates on Lack of Family Support, Government Handouts

"This suicide problem didn't exist until we got largesse from the government," he said according to audio acquired by his Democratic challenger Forrest Dunbar's campaign, Politico reports. "When people had to work, and had to provide and had to keep warm by putting participation in cutting the wood and catching the fish and killing the animals, we didn't have the suicide problem. It comes from the largesse of saying you're not worth anything but you're going to get something for nothing."
