I remember there being similar arguments during the communist era. Since it was so entrenched people in the communist block would ask “Getting rid of communism sounds good, but where will we get toothpaste?” And that would shut down discussion because no one had a specific answer about where it would come from. Honestly at this point if your argument is we can’t get rid of any of the police state because the liberals will spend more money, then I’m good with just augering this whole thing into the ground. I’m sick of my liberty being held hostage because people are affraid some of the tofu and tabby cat crowd trying to expand welfare.
Yes it is a cyclical type of argument. I am all for shock and awe of cutting them off as long as the feds do not interfere in the aftermath and let things sort themselves out. I just know based on the doofuses I hear talking that they don’t have to stones to stick it out. The first mother on tv that complains her kid isn’t getting X (especially food, I AM NOT advocating starving children only for shifting the responsibility to the parents or local community/churches like it used to be).
