See my post #1122 on this thread:
Your assessment is spot on as Reagan knew this too and why he begged for a balanced budget amendment to the US Constitution.
Still we have no one and I mean no one (including Ron Paul) offering a plan to seriously reduce the size of goobermint, the amendment, reigning in spending now, and paying off out debt.
In the meantime, we are 300 yards from shore and the 5 piranha are taking chunks out of legs as we try to swim back to safety. We can also see the school of piranha (hundreds) 1/2 mi away upstream swimming straight straight for us.
Few statesmen are left now serving in Congress.....Jefferson repeatedly warned us about the nature of man and goobermint.
I’ve got to skoot for now, but will come back to this thread later. Thanks!
