Like Dear old Dad always said - - “Once the parasites outnumber the producers in this country, it’s all over.”

Congratulations to the Democrats. They “won”.

Seems like a pretty safe prediction. I do not see how it can end well.

A year ago congress was bailing out the banking industry to the tune of $1 trillion. Then it was bailing out the auto industry. This week it’s socialized medicine. Next week it’ll be cap and tax. This an addiction to power and spending fueled by ever increasing debt. The demand isn’t going to abate until there is simply no more money to be spent.

Demand based solutions aren’t going to work. No junkie comes clean unless he/she has to. We need to start looking at supply side solutions. We need to cut the supply of money. The irony here is that conservatives are enabling the socialism.

One part of this is the tax burden that conservatives willingly carry. If you have taxable investments when tax free or tax preferred ones are available....why? Do you enjoy paying for this? Conservatives need to start thinking a little more about the tax implications of their actions.

Own savings bonds? T-bills? GNMAs? Are they the underlying investment in your money market account or 401(k)? If the answer is yes, then you’re subsidizing this just as surely as if you had scratched a check.

But what about the 5 ton elephant in the living room: the national debt? The ability to fund all this is tied to the ability to borrow. What if conservatives simply pushed for a polcy of repudiating the national debt, or more specifically that portion entered into since January 2009?

Therein lies a game changing strategy.

All he did was observe the death of democratic nations. We are right on course and on schedule.

It makes me extremely sad to see the death of Western Civilization in real time. Very sad. And depressed.

Zero and other lefties always make the same erroneous assumption...that tax money will magically continue to flow into federal coffers in perpetuity like manna from heaven no matter what.

You’d think that it has never occurred to Hussein that crushing capitalism and corporate America is killing the Golden Goose...but is it exactly his intention via Cloward-Piven?

Zero’s recent “3000% savings” on health insurance premiums gaff is just more proof that he is a mathematically disfunctional idiot. Or is that just a mask?
