Senator Jerry Moran discusses dangers of national debt, and entitlements and warns what's happening in Greece may foretell America's fate.

How can the government run out of money? They can print as much as they like!
Would an Alaskan Brown Bear crap in the woods if it’d just eaten a hundred salmon...?
I think so, I used to think people would do what is right, but now they will keep their hand in the Treasury all the way to the gutter and lower.
A balanced budget/austerity is now the RADICAL thought.
What else would there be for deadbeats to do?
See my tagline..
Yes,
BUT The good news is once those 1st of the month checks aren’t worth the gas it takes to get to the bank to cash them, city Liberals will turn on each other first and burn their own cities down, while rural Conservatives can just pass the popcorn and wait it out.
I almost feel sorry for the Liberals for the horror & violence that they will soon experience, but considering no group & philosophy in history has caused the human race more evil, misery, failure and bloodshed, they will get what they deserve.
When they are huddled all alone, hungry in the dark and the mob shows up outside, and as they are being dragged out into the street maybe, just maybe they will finally grasp what a bunch of fools they have been.
Possibly, but I am guessing much of flyover country where entitlement junkies are a small minority and the majority is armed, but not very diverse and even less multi-cultural, will do just fine.
Step 1 in this plan would be to call out the National Guard and surround every city so that the damage could be contained because that’s where the meltdown will occur when the government teat runs dry. But its all just theoretical because the weak pansies who run our government would never actually cut benefits to the levels that would be sustainable. I don’t know whether to laugh or cry when I read about “austerity” in the papers. No country has experienced “austerity”. Its a sad joke.
Just the hopeless cases. The more intelligent an motivated in the crowd would take their thievery to a more personal level, or find employment.
A quite significant percentage would head toward Mexico and points beyond.
Yes. Either have secured property outside the cities or make friends with those that do. Oh, and invest heavily in ammunition.

The gated communities should beware.
They would riot assuming they could get up off the couch.
Here’s a pretty good explanation of the Greek bailout:
It is a slow day in a little Greek Village. The rain is beating down and the streets are deserted.
Times are tough, everybody is in debt, and everybody lives on credit.
On this particular day a rich German tourist is driving through the village, stops at the local hotel and lays a €100 note on the desk, telling the hotel owner he wants to inspect the rooms upstairs in order to pick one to spend the night.
The owner gives him some keys and, as soon as the visitor has walked upstairs, the hotelier grabs the €100 note and runs next door to pay his debt to the butcher.
The butcher takes the €100 note and runs down the street to repay his debt to the pig farmer.
The pig farmer takes the €100 note and heads off to pay his bill at the supplier of feed and fuel.
The guy at the Farmers’ Co-op takes the €100 note and runs to pay his drinks bill at the tavern.
The publican slips the money along to the local prostitute drinking at the bar, who has also been facing hard times and has had to offer him “services” on credit.
The prostitute then rushes to the hotel and pays off her room bill to the hotel owner with the €100 note.
The hotel proprietor then places the €100 note back on the counter so the rich traveller will not suspect anything.
At that moment the traveller comes down the stairs, picks up the €100 note, states that the rooms are not satisfactory, pockets the money, and leaves town.
No one produced anything.
No one earned anything.
However, the whole village is now out of debt and looking to the future with a lot more optimism.
And that is how the bailout package works!
How can the government run out of money? They can print as much as they like!
Nowadays, the Chinese, Russians and others are trying to set up their own reserve currency. I hope they succeed because that will eventually rein in the US government spending. Whether that causes the SHTF remains to be seen. My betting is that we do get riots.
good question....lol!
how many days worth of food do you suspect the average person on the gummint dole has in their house? Not to mention other necessities, such as cigs, beer, and weed...?
