Anyone who believes, as I do, that we now have more voters riding in the wagon than there are pulling it, is probably not optimistic about any resolution short of a collapse.
What about Mighty-Mouse or Team America?
I have thought the same thing myself. We are headed for the cliff and after we crash there simply will be no funds for all of these entitlements.
Oh, c’mon now, everyone!
The mainstream leadership of the Republican Party is perfectly up to the task of straightening out those Democrat-created problems!
Just elect the right sort of mainstream Republicans to office, and everything will be made right.
And all of the Party’s special friends will be made whole, of course.
That’s politics in a socialist era - get used to it.
I decided to read up on Chile (don’t know much about their history). I discovered that Chile’s flag is very similar to the Texas flag. How’s that?
Well, a lot of us believe there IS such a thing as cause and effect, and we don’t have to be disciples of “Dr. Paul” to understand it.
Liberals and their ilk, living in a land of unicorns that defecate skittles, believe that you can tax corporations and citizens to DEATH, spend vast sums of money on HUGE entitlement programs and the bill will never come due.
Most of us who pay attention recognize that the government only has a few ways to obtain money they spend on our “behalf” (if they don’t have government entities making it through a profitable government enterprise; a concept which simply doesn’t exist)and those methods are: taxing, printing or borrowing, all of which may be safely carried out in planned, limited scales without killing The Goose.
We know this because we have analogs in our own personal finances, and know that injudiciously violating those guidelines will land you in the poor house.
Our own government ignored this aspect for many years, but this administration in the last year has made a conscious decision to grease the skids towards disaster. Personally, my confidence level approaches 100% that they are actively pursuing a Cloward-Piven strategy, and are hoping we reach their “end” before they are separated from the levers of power.
Are we finished? Is it too late? It CERTAINLY is if we continue down this path. But I feel that our country has enough assets, including human, material and natural that given the right environment that includes fiscal responsibility, removal of the entitlement mentality and a corporate environment that encourages the profit motive instead of demonizing it will allow us to get back on our feet at some point in the future.
You don’t need to have “Dr” in front of your name to see this reality, only half a brain that pays attention.
Yep.
Any planned economy will fail. Liberals are too arrogant and conceited to understand that they do not have the capacity to control an economy.
The arrogant a-holes think “Hey, we can do it. The Soviets failed, because they ‘didn’t do it right’...we can do better.”
Uh huh. Problem is, the rat bastards are going to take us down with them. I’m not ready to go, yet.
“You don’t need to have “Dr” in front of your name to see this reality, only half a brain that pays attention.”
Are we having an argument? If so, I surrender! What you wrote in your reply was exactly what I was trying to say in mine.
LOL...no!
I was up on the soapbox...
I was commenting on the obviousness of the statement to many of us, but unfortunately, not to as many Americans as we would like.
....”An economic Collapse would see:
1) several prosperous states probably split....Texas along with the states that border it....
2) Canada breaking apart
3) Mexico goes immediately into civil war
4) Race riots that make the 60’s look like a picnic
5) The rest of the world enters a new Dark Ages...who’s going to buy their crap.....
Without federal money, how the hell would Washington STOP any succession movements.”....
Is it possible to get “TEXAS” to succeed from the Union! TONIGHT! Please!
Since they have more in common with a certain country just south of them than they do with the USA.... Please go away!
I personally think that we should REALLY screw Mexico. Let’s give them Texas back! And then “Doctor” Paul can run for presidente! Can you see these Nazi Paulies trying to fight it out (in spanish) with drug lords with guns? You Paulies be sure to be at EVERY rally! And MAKE SURE that you tell them that they are scum if they don’t vote for Herr Surrendermokies.... I am sure you will recieve a lovely reception.
Please, Please, Texas! Succeed TONIGHT!
