He’s assuming all social programs will continue to function the same and pay the parasites the same, they won’t. Get rid of federally mandated social engineering programs and a lot of overhead goes away. What about the people getting the checks you say? Tell them to get a job, stop spitting out kids as a single welfare parent, or move to somewhere that still wants to support you, or die. Would take few years but the problem would solve itself. Alambama could support itself quite well without the federal government if they were willing to take a “tough love” approach to fiscal responsibility.
You are right on target.
Is THIS how America dies??
He ignores voting with your feet. Not that I believe secession will happen in my lifetime but if it did I would leave the blue country I live in and move to a red country. This would happen in reverse as well and in short order the blue states would be even bigger sh6tholes than they are now.
