Do you think the American voting public has the stomach to do that? The welfare state has ensnared most of our people. 54 million on SS; 47 million on Medicare; 60 million on Medicaid; and 44 million on food stamps. 60% of all births in this country are funded thru Medicaid. And with Obamacare in place, it is game, set, and match.

Yes the welfare state will bankrupt us and then collapse the country. We can then try to rebuild from there, but until then, there will be more and more pressure to increase taxes and take money away from defense to keep the Ponzi schemes going.
