The Democrats are really saying:
“Read our lisp: No new private-sector jobs.”
We need a Sarah Palin presidency. Anyone who doesn't see that is as blind as the Ruling Class.
You’re as worse as the libtard Dems in how you view shit in absolutes. “Anyone who doesn’t see that is a blind as the Ruling class”....so say we all, huh? =.=
Social Security Disability is paid EVERY MONTH for every YEAR of a person's life. They get on with a bad temper for a drug problem and they can collect every month for 30 years - 40 years or even 80 years if they live to be a hundred. It never stops. No pesky social workers. And most of them work under the table... so they're not paying taxes on what they do earn.
It's a system with such perverse incentives it would make welfare blush... and it's bankrupting Social Security. And those folks who really are disabled will be dumped on the streets when everything goes broke.
Then again, you know dems will let grandma die before they'll let some criminal drug addict do without his Social Security.
From a comment I posted on RedState:
“If you aske me, the critters in congress aren’t going to be able to solve this problem. If there is ever to be a solution to this, the States will have to step in and settle it that way...”
The States do not need permission from congress to amend the constitution. I am not a proponent of the BBA, because I think it will have side effects likened to the regulatory conditions that pumped the housing and govt debt (all levels) bubble, but if that’s what we really want to do, then it is likely the ONLY way to get there.
I would rather see the Federal government stripped of power it was never intended to have instead of, or in addition to, a BBA. I do not count on congress willingly giving that stuff up or being able to control it, in fact I am quite certain that it will not do it on its own just because we demand it.
The Federal gov’t is in a percarious position with the Fed exiting QE2, interest rates on borrowing will rise, and it will eventually run out of enough customers willing to buy its debt. And the amount of borrowing it will have to do is a problem because it already overwhelms America’s savings pool. For it to keep borrowing at the rate required to keep up with unfunded mandates, it will soak up nearly all potentially productive domestic capital and convert it to consumption making it nearly impossible to climb out of the economic hole we’re in; and it really does not matter if taxes are raised because they are grabbing the money on the front end in addition of the back.
It really is just a matter of when, not if, the piper comes calling, and if we’re not careful, the government will just collapse right along with whatever is left of the economy. Any state that just might be so inclined to stand up to Fedzilla, but does not because of the Federal stipends, should consider the very real possibility that the money will run dry and if they have any interest at all in saving themselves and us from the all but certain financial calamity, they need to step in now and rein that beast in.
He excerpted the entire Buchanan article. How often does that happen?

VERY interesting! Thanks for the post/ping/link/question.
“Speaker Boehner has just pulled off a major coup in his negotiations with the White House over the debt ceiling. Boehner has successfully gotten an incumbent Democratic President to propose cuts to the Social Security program. Whoever becomes the GOP nominee for president has to be overjoyed with this development because it will mean that the 0bama campaign won’t be able to attack the GOP nominee about SS. If 0bama’s campaign tries demogoguing the GOP nominee, then all that nominee will have to do is remind everyone that during the debt ceiling talks President 0bama, himself proposed cutting SS. “
You are right that this is an accomlishment, but OTOH the media will paper this over and still allow the demagoguery to continue unhindered.
Worse as all that? LOL
First of all, Sarah Palin is the epitome of anti-Ruling Class. I don’t know who you are supporting but I’ll bet he considers himself or strives to impress or operates by the rules of the “inside the beltway” elites. Many FReepers fall into that category as well. That’s why they aren’t able to understand the appeal of Palin to the rest of us.
Secondly, Libtard Dems don’t view “shit in absolutes”. Quite the contrary, they live in a gray world.
What I don’t do is operate within the framework of “that’s the way it’s always been done”. Learn to think outside the box. It’s the only way we are going to get control of our government, our country. Palin knows this and so does her supporters. If it comes off as us sounding superior, it’s because we are. :p
