If you were to give Kerry or Gore emperor for life status they'd spend til they were using 100% of our GDP but a liberal with a republican congress wouldn't be able to pass a bill. Bush passed threw a Medicare bill bigger than Gores and the republicans vote for it because they were being loyal. If Gore was elected and he tried to push threw a smaller version of Bushs bill, the entire republican party would scream about a welfare state.

The welfare state will be the end of American democracy, mark my words. Once the majority of people get more money from the the government than the government takes from them we will never be able to vote out the welfare state. Guess what happens then, revolution, a revolution that would either limit the voting franchise or abandon democracy all together. Don't think for one minute the rich and powerful in America will sit idle by when socialists steal their money.

"The Welfare State is merely a method for transforming the market economy step by step into socialism." -Ludwig von Mises

I agree, in fact, I'm realigning my personal political activism towards ending the Welfare State...anyone with half a brain can take the unfunded liability of Medicare...Medicaid...the prescription drug coverage ($10 trillion)...Social Security ($7 Trillion) and realize this country is about to go belly up unless we do something NOW!

Of course KerryGore would have gone on an E.O. rampage, just like Clintoon did.
