Hey liberals, I know Palin annoys you. The bottom line remains that we don’t have the money for to pay for the nanny state anymore. Even more true is the fact that we never did....which is why the federal and state budgets are going broke.
We’ve been headed toward this day of reckoning since the late 70’s....but, any and all attempts to bring the spending trajectories under control have been demagogued by the left as ‘throwing grandma into the snow.’ While this was good politics for the left, it never good leadership!!!
So, here we are: Medicare, medicaid, social security, and state pensions and benefits are finally being looked at seriously. It’s a big mess that would have been easier to resolve in the 90’s, 80’s or 70’s but, your so called leaders prevented it from happening.
The truth is, you lefties should be thankful the demagoguery isn’t working anymore. We might, and I mean might, have a chance to save the economy before it gets driven over the cliff. Defined benefit plans are going to be replaced by defined contribution plans. Medicaid will be sent to the states. Medicare will turn into a government subsidized insurance program. SS will be fixed too.
And, by the way, no one is thrilled about this. We’re simply doing the math. It’s called being an adult. You should try it.
IMHO this will never get past the Senate. Filibuster don't ya know.
