Since the idiots in washington crashed the economy, food stamps and welfare have “necessiarily skyrocketed.”

The “progress” of socialism has tipped the government into a promised course of economic failure and that socialist spending is not just limited to entitlement programs. There are whole agencies dedicated to providing entitlements to the socialist machine in unions, foreign governments and globalist movers and shakers, foundations, the Universities and in corporate welfare.

Trimming here and trimming there is not going to help. We either cut the scope of government and axe the socialist “progress” or, like the Soviet Union, we don’t stand a chance. Socialism is not a viable economic system and it is directly opposed to the constitution.

Exactly. We are witnessing the implosion of the welfare state. The Dems want to keep it going a little bit longer by increasing taxes and reducing defense spending, but eventually it is a losing game. The programs are unsustainable. We need to go after both the entitlement programs and means tested welfare programs like Medicaid and food stamps if we want to change the fiscal trajectory we are currently on.
