That is why Libtardians can’t get elected to any office, their ideas only work in fantasy land.
The fantasy is that we can keep the laws on the books that cover SS, welfare, unemployment, food stamps, Medicaid, Medicare, public transportation, public housing, etc etc and survive as a free nation in any sense. With these programs in place and with the voting ability of those who receive more from the state than what they will ever put in, the programs WILL expand. That is an economic fact.
This may not win elections, but following your prescription is like treating the rash while ignoring the herpes that caused the rash. The truth is almost always unpopular. Just because the majority wants to ignore reality doesn't mean that I must.
Unfortunately, what the majority ignores kills us all. I will not, therefore, be silenced by the unpopularity of my correct position simply because reality doesn't win elections.
You live in fantasy land, as all libtardians do, that is why zero of them get elected.
You can’t undo the past 60 years instantly, we don’t elect Kings.
