Collapse is indeed inevitable, and we all know this. It is amusing, excepting the tragedy and human suffering.

Many retain denial, or a rather interesting mix of various conspiracy theories ground into a finer pulp than those in the 70's and 80's. One almost desires a black helicopter or a contrail or a cattle mutilation.

This collapse is a necessary outcome that visits immoral and unlucky civilizations.

History will document that our demise originated in the District of Columbia.

This country is assuming unplayable debt like a sweet bottom crack whore watching a K for her man in the can. Everyone wants to screw her, and no one will stop her from hitting the shooter... Because they want their thing.. and her thing. Things will not be pretty when daddy gets out.

Base description of situation, but accurate.

RE :”You are exactly right, I'm glad somebody noticed it other than myself. I had hoped this article would be read, and would reach some. But it just goes to the point of my rarely posting here anymore. Even Freepers, who should be the enlightened ones cannot get past their own failings. I realized about a year ago that most Freepers are not unlike the far left, they are stuck, unable to learn, label everything and discount it before it challenges thier worldview. It was dishearting to hear people discount the aticle out of hand because he calls America a democracy, like his using that term means his facts are wrong.

I liked many of the points that even looked like my writing, but others I disagreed with. As much as I disagree with certain war related policies of the last two presidents, I think the idea of a state coordinated national defense is just 'off the wall' silliness.

Similarly mentioning Ron Paul as the ultimate truth teller is bound to cause friction here. I agree with Paul over a number of things but he takes libertarianism so far it's not like he even lives on this planet sometimes. Plus, he never comes up with real proposals that get implemented. It's all :"Get rid of ...". And he likes going on liberal shows agreeing with them. They love that. Instead he should preach on FNC even if it's contrary to the hosts views. Who will he reach on the Maddow or Schultz show?

“...He’s here in this day and age with a few small changes.
Now he has a sign that says “Don’t touch my SS and medicare”. He’s paid in all those years...”

And there’s my good buddy sickolibs pouring vinegar on my rant!!! hahah!

Not all of them are like that, good brother.

But remember something - Social Security was a contract, and whatever its flaws, it must be kept. People HAVE paid into it all of their lives - and yes, I know the money’s been spent and there’s no trust or lock box.

Maybe the real answer is to start hunting down the b*stards who OK’d spending the money in the first place, and who CONTINUE to OK it, and have them arrested and jailed for criminal conspiracy, malfeasance, and whatever other crimes we can charge them with, and we don’t STOP prosecuting their asses until the rest of the clowns get it.

That takes balls. Is the will there for it? Probably not in the oldline GOP. But in some of the newbies - you know, the ones that assclown Trent Lott was so interested in “co-opting” - it just might be there.

I know what you’re saying though, brother.

But its human nature - nobody wants to give up something that has been promised to them - Hell, it’s been TAKEN from them basically at gunpoint for all of their working lives - and that they feel is owed to them.

But there’s plenty of other things that could be cut down. ALphabet Agencies can be cut to the bone (a couple in particular come immediately to mind - ESPECIALLY in light of a rather recent scandal involving Mexico and guns).

I don’t have answers to it. All I know is we’re heading into a hell of a sh*tstorm, and the folks in charge are propelling us at light speed.

therein lies the problem Sir...i too have oft said, just gimme what i paid in and we'll call it even...the only problem with that, is that what i paid in, as you mentioned was robbed from me at gunpoint and its been spent, with no other mechanism to recoup the cash, w/o myself demanding that the pistol be used on our kids for mine...thats simply an immoral proposition to me today, and id just as soon take the hit, rather than pass that violence down to the next kid...

agreed, but there aint a snowballs prayer of that lobbyist/insider/kickback campaign and good time money supply happenin...and realistically, i would welcome takin a meataxe to the whole damn 'budget', but alas, it prolly would collapse the ponzi scheme under the weight of all the unemployed goubmint workers...which honestly, again, i believe id welcome at this point, just to get it over with...

I know with 99.99999 accuracy that i'll never see a dime of my 'investment'...that is simple math...i just wish the rest of my brethren would accept the fact that the checkin account is empty, and get on board with the pain, rather than wishin it away to never-never land...

but hells bells, theres still a check or two in the book, so we obviously aint broke yet...

I'll fight for my FReedom, and to restore the light upon the hill, but lets just stick the damn fork in the ole roast, cause uncle sam is a lush, and he aint comin home for supper...

Right on! I think that the only way that we are going to get this addiction to spending and growing under control is to force the Fed to downsize without a choice. Do not raise the debt ceiling and they will have to make deep cuts or default. Either way is better than the communist/sharia state where we are heading.

We used to have patriotic members in the House & Senate. Even a few Dims. Now, lobby scum has bought almost all of them

Dad-gum it. you big gubment socialists are not going to mess with my medicare. Everything the gubment takes over gets ruined so stay away from that. Our founders fought the British over medicare cuts, they threw them out. Ever hear of the Tea Party? That was over medicare cuts.

Medicare is mine I ‘paid in’for it . I marched at the tea party rally with a sign ‘Keep the gubment out of my medicare’. I drove other seniors to vote in November to elect the medicare, err Tea, party candidates. Now they say they want to take it away? You can pry my medicare out of my dead cold hands dag nabit.

Give me medicare or give me death panels was the Tea party cry. .

I cant take this debate too serious. It's just fun to look at and poke fun at the two sides HERE that both are so sure they are right and the others are wrong. I think that is typical here, but because this issue divides Republicans so easily it makes it more interesting to see that attitude.

Back in 2009 I used to make lots of comments about Republican welfare, but they were very unpopular.

The proof of statutory rape by the state and the elites in the knowingly dumbing down of America and taking advantage of it. You do not rape the retards. And liberals are such retards who were demoralized and are now useful idiot fodder for them.

But go figure... it’s how pimphood is designed. Propaganda and dumbing down sheer brutal power. Hence this consent to this government and to Zero is false on its face and a fraud.

Zero is not President, period.

Zero is becoming our new “Tokyo Rose” by the day, day by day. Total waste of our but especially their psy-op budget and effectiveness...

Tic toc tic toc, a matter of time before hopefuly someone with a somewhat sane head amongst these elites start calling for throwing this bunch under the bus.

Even illegal immigrants should start figuring that out... heck, any one of them can play Zero like he is a Nintendo game set himself any time. I’m too old for that, but let the wild youth have at it, so to speak, if they have the energy for it.

Ah ah ah... I prepping the pop corn for this one.
