How can the government run out of money? They can print as much as they like!

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.

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.

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.

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 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...?

Since Travis McGee is incommunicado, I don't think he'll mind this pertinent repost of his work.

How are they “entitlements” when 96% of them did nothing to earn them? We keep using the Left’s vocabulary and keep wondering why we lose most of the time. How about “welfare, assistance, hand-outs, charity” or other appropriate terms? Social Security Retirement, Medicare, Veteran’s benefits and a few other programs can be looked at as “entitlements” since the recipient did something or paid in something to earn them. Most of the rest is pure welfare gibmedats.

The “gibmedats” will riot in the urban areas and the current gummint is counting on the flyover Murrikans to exhibit compassion [and open their wallets!].

Not gonna happen.
The “urban” revolt demanding Santa Clause show up every 2 weeks will be set aside.

If taken away all at once, most likely. Take away a little at a time or step down the pay outs, less likely.
