If you want to collapse an economic system, this is how it’s done.

But a dollar spent on welfare makes America $1 weaker by strengthening government dependency and the entitlement mentality at the expense of our most precious and nearly depleted national resource: character.

I have to disagree with the author here. We have plenty of “character” in this country. Unfortunately, much of it is bad.

Socialism Is Unacceptable.

Insanity should be unsustainable...the problem is we locked the doors to the asylums and threw away the keys AFTER we let the nutcases out...

In the back of our minds, we think, “Obama has to live here after he’s done being President. He won’t mess it up so that it’s rotten for him to live here.” Poor assumption. Obama can live anywhere he wants when he’s done being President. Who here thinks he wants to return to Chicago and start a restaurant? He’s lived outside the US. He can take the money and run, so there’s absolutely no concern for him about what America looks like after his Presidency is over. We have to quit projecting our morals and values and thoughts and concerns onto him. He’s going to do what is best for him. For goodness sakes, he grew up without parents. He only trusts himself.

a dollar that has been stolen from productive ventures to subsdize the unproductive, suppressing the ability of the productive ventures to be a going concern
