Says Chuck Roger:
If attempts to cut education spending can send thuggish teachers’ unions into the streets and a tough Arizona law on illegal immigration can send unions and race baiters screaming, what will happen if Washington politicians ever find the spine to do what has to be done to cut Welfare, Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and other government handouts?
Says Monty Pelerin:
After decades of coddling and dependency, the US has created a class of citizens that believe entitlements are a birthright. Several generations have known only this way of life. Public “servants” are a different problem. They live in their own insulated world, divorced from the realities of markets. For too many years they have only seen their numbers expand and salaries increase. To believe that either group will accept what’s coming graciously is the height of naiveté.
Can anyone doubt what will happen when these events begin to unfold? Yes, “when,” not “if” is the proper term. The US long passed the tipping point for corrective action that does not involve all of the above. So have the welfare states of Europe.
This is why I constantly gather up beans, bullets, and band-aids. I do not see a way the US will not financially implode soon. There will be chaos, there could be anarchy. Maybe we’ve reached the magic moment where the US needs to push the “restart button” and start over.
Welfare, Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, government handout, entitlement, beans, bullets, and band-aids
