This is insanity. Obama’s spending is at truly insane levels but he simply is working a system that already is in place. The only president in the modern era (say, since the 60s) who actually held the line on spending was Reagan, and even he wasn’t able to cut it. He simply stopped it from growing. We talk about how unfair it is to blame Bush for Obama’s deficits and that is true. But Bush launched his own “Compassionate Conservative” spending binge right after he was sworn in. Remember that his first couple of programs were entitlement expansions and an education spending binge. We need someone with the ability to dismantle the system.

More fundamentally, we need an electorate that will stop voting to steal other people’s money, and elect such people to office.

We are very close to unrecoverable disaster in this country, as the voting population is near 50% parasites.
