Everyone who has a brain knows we have to cut Entitlements, but no one will do it. We now have one in seven Americans walking around with a Food Stamp (now called SNAP) debit card in their back pocket. We have millions of people collecting Social Security checks and SSI disability. Parents of children with mild ailments such as heart murmurs or sleep apnea have learned how to get their children classified as disabled so that they collect checks for life. Illegal aliens have sucked the Medicaid fund dry. Some inner city minority populations depend on government direct deposits in the form of AFDC, daycare cash payments, nutitional assistance, special minority loans for business, and Section 8 housing for almost all of that community's income. Unemployment payments have now reached half a Trillion dollars since Obama took over - half a Trillion for people not to work.
What will Washington do? It looks like they will slash miltiary veterans programs, decimate the Defense Budget, and freeze military salaries come November.
Under debt deal, military pay, veterans programs in play for cuts
This will do almost nothing to stop the implosion, but because Entitlements are "off the table" - our Government will appear desperate to convince the public it is doing something.
This is the beginning of the end. I am filled with a deep and abiding fear that nothing will be done until the whole system collapses.
And the cause of it all will be a segment of Americans and worthless politicians who were motivated by nothing more than pure envy and greed.
"The righteousness of the upright will deliver them, But the treacherous will be caught by their own greed."
Proverbs 11:6
