You present some interesting ideas, all of which are entirely plausible.
I, too, worry about where all this is going, and it doesn’t appear to be pretty.
With any luck the controllers will overplay their hand too early, i.e., while those of us who see what they’re doing and are able and willing to do something about it are still around. Then, their Final Solution will blow up in their face, literally.
As near as I can see, this whole thing is escalating to the point of disaster, particularly with the exponential increases in entitlement spending for those masses out there that contribute absolutely nothing substantive to this country.
It either blows up in our faces and checks stop rolling and EBTs unreplenished each month,or Obama (or whoever takes over after him) bites the big bullet (after Amnesty) and just takes the last remaining superfunds in this country - IRAs, 401Ks, Roth IRAs, and just plain wealth in general.
My guess is that we’ll see the confiscation and conversion to chits on your Social Security before they let the entitlement crowd go postal. Because, even he won’t be able to control them if that happens.
