“America was founded and populated by people with a horror of dependency.”
I am rethinking this well-worn assumption. I am currently reading Undaunted Courage and learned that circa 1800 the population of the US was approx 5 million and that included 1 million slaves. I am thinking this 20% figure does not reflect a nation populated primarily of entrepreneurs and adventurers with a horror of dependency. THAT is a time bomb.
When will impeachment begin?
I haven’t heard anyone discuss this. But the definition of “dissability” (or maybe the interpretation) has significantly changed.
I know people on permanent disability that have gamed the system. In one case, a dad who is “permanently disabled” coaches his kids and is an avid hunter but is unable to work because of back pain. Should disability recipients be able to bowl? Play golf? Pick-up basketball games? League Softball? Snow Ski?
I’ve heard it described (excused) this way; They are no longer to perform the activities of their primary career, so they are disabled. I know a former nurse who is “disabled” that is able to bowl, carry around children, etc.
“Did you really think we want those laws observed?” said Dr. Ferris. “We want them to be broken. You’d better get it straight that it’s not a bunch of boy scouts you’re up against... We’re after power and we mean it... There’s no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren’t enough criminals one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What’s there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced or objectively interpreted – and you create a nation of law-breakers – and then you cash in on guilt. Now that’s the system, Mr. Reardon, that’s the game, and once you understand it, you’ll be much easier to deal with.”

I think they are setting everyone up to have them guilty of “something” so they can use the enforcement section of it to clamp down in a “soft police state” format that slowly evolves into the soviet gulag type....

He just uses Obamacare bankruptor sewage system and grabs for vouching for it by having people depend on it no matter. After getting out the military his people always lurk in US bases pushing for it.
If Obamacare were a sport or a union, and is like our government run AMTRACK....it would be and should be shut down in every state as a public nuisance as dangerous as a rabid animal and removed before the hour was out. Shut Obamacare Down.....is Valerie Jarrett this blind?
I’ve seen many who used to think being on the dole was bad look for ways to get their share. Although I don’t approve, I can understand the mindset. They work hard and pay taxes for years, and see everyone else getting the freebies. Why not them?
Honor system with government... riiiiight.
