He is still doing just fine over at Gallop with 46% approve and 47% disapproving. THINK about that - 46% approving just a couple of months before the mid terms. A figure that is the same or very close to the percentage of people who do not pay federal income tax. The real hurdle we face is this group, which probably tends to draw other public services. As Papa Gubmint supplies their daily needs, they may not feel that they have it too bad (until the day the spigot stops...cold).
You are so correct - we need to starve the beast. BUT if another party can never regain control of the Fed Gummint, how is that possible? We may have already reached the tipping point.
“A Republic—If You Can Keep It”
Alexander Fraser Tytler, also known as Lord Woodhouselee, who wrote: “A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship.”
