Since the takers have been growing historically regardless of the political party in power I've come to believe that the downward spiral of the US economy can only be slowed, but not halted.
Ultimately this must lead to bloodshed in the streets - just as happened in Ecuador yesterday when the police violently opposed 'austerity'.
We'd all better be ready.
...”Personally I think the difference between this period and the Great Depression is that the ‘takers’ have now come to outnumber the ‘makers’. When this happens expect the takers to vote themselves a bigger and bigger share of the possessions of the ever-decreasing pool of makers.

I am afraid you are right..And, counted among those “takers” should be those who work for bloated government. Many of them have jobs which are purely political without any benefit to the people. It is simply a looting of our treasury and we have already scraped the bottom of that barrel. According to Dinesh D’Souza’s new book, Obama’s father believed in 100% taxation by the government. We have to think that Obama may be envisioning that, as well. It will not work in America. Blood in the streets? After the big socialist/communist gathering on the Mall in D.C. this weekend, we may have a better clue as to all that.

Yep, regardless of official numbers or propaganda, when there ain’t no mo’ taters in the bin an’ the hens ain’t layin’ all will learn what every sharecropper knew a hundred years ago...well, they will learn some of it and starve wishing they knew the rest.
