“I disagree. If the republicans cannot even sell the American public on a modest reform, how are they going to win an election in 2012.”
Hell, half the older people on THIS SITE have ABSOLUTELY NO PROBLEM with this country crashing and becoming Third World (as long as their precious Social Security and Medicare don’t get touched)...how on Earth can any political party have a prayer at changing these things?
Bottom line...we MUST crash, the welfare state has won. It’s only a question now of who’s in power over the carnage. If it’s the Dems, they will make damn-sure that the United States, as we knew it, NEVER rises again. If it’s the Republicans (or really the right Republican), we will have a chance.
But, for now, it’s simply just a matter of waiting. No one can lead, because the people that count (the old people sucking us dry) simply don’t want to be led. It is over, at least for a while.
......Bottom line...we MUST crash, the welfare state has won. It?s only a question now of who?s in power over the carnage......
I am sort of amazed more people cannot see that......we are already over the brink and nothing will change until vast numbers of people are hit with this stark reality that the state can no longer take care of these that refuse to be self sufficent
