You have that childlike naivete and belief that everything will be ok and we will muddle thru somehow despite our massive debt, rapidly changing demographics that have us being colonized by the Third World, and a growing culture of dependency that believes that we can keep these unsustainable programs going by increasing taxes and gutting defense. You fail to understand that what is happening today is unprecedented in our history and we are no longer the same country that we were even 60 years ago.

You are correct, it is now a mathematical progression. If he has four ore years it will be a geometric progression. British oppression of the people led to 1776. Democratic expansion of slavery against the will of the people led to the Civil War. Carter led to Reagan. How many more examples do you need?

Tyranny can follow tyranny. Your logic is flawed. And what did Reagan lead to? RINO Bush 41, Clinton, RINO Bush 43 and Obama. Each one of them has increased the welfare state. Even Reagan signed on to that Faustian bargain with Tip O'Neil to save SS by decreasing benefits including raising the age for full benefits from 65 to 67, increasing taxes, and forcing all new federal employees hired after 1983 to join SS. From Lenin to Stalin to Putin. The entire ME save for Israel has perpetuated monarchies and oligarchies. The Arab Spring will not produce any real system changes, just replacing one group of tyrants for another.

Even in Europe, they are awakening to the failures of the socialist multicultural model.

I have lived 13 years in five European countries. You don't have a clue. The welfare state is firmly in place. It will be the last thing to go. The crisis they are experiencing is how best to keep it going a little while longer. They have already reduced their defense spending to about 1% of GDP and that will go down even further as they scramble to get money to keep the welfare state treading water. With the US providing the security umbrella for Europe for 65 years, the Europeans were able to focus their resources on social benefits. Look at what Spain, Italy, Greece, and Portugal are doing to deal with their austerity measures.

And Europe is facing even worse demographics than we are. They are aging faster and their populations will be declining. They will require large numbers of immigrants to keep their economies going. But they don't want the cultural and social problems that come with it. The immigrants are not assimilating and they are in many cases hostile to the very countries they are in. Enoch Powell saw it coming, but he was called a racist and nativist. Now he is considered a prophet.

They will collapse just like we will because there is not the political will or public support to rein in the entitlement programs. In the past, we have kicked the can down the road, now we are running out of road. And there will be no deus ex machina to save us.
