“Two aphorisms that are proving true:
One once the American people receive an entitlement it will never be repealed... AND
two The ancient Greek observation that democracy breaks down when voters realize that they can vote themselves benefits at the expense of others.”
Truer words were never spoken.
And it does not matter which party is in charge, both are going to maintain the status quo, because they want those votes.
True... until time runs out; we are looking at entitlements that will soon run to $100 tril+ ¿know anyone with that sort of money? For some decades now there have been warnings about Social Security eventually reaching a broken condition. The Democ🐀s have repeatedly said that they have a solution to the problem - although they have never said what that solution is ... The Repubbies have said the subject is the third rail of politics and run away crying wee wee wee all the way home.
Now the time is quickly approaching when the issue will have to be dealt with - and whose solution will take precedence? Obviously not the party that has run away.
So, what is the democ🐀 solution to the burgeoning Social Security problem? Of course: raise taxes to a punitive levels - i.e. Marxist tax levels - take it all . The savior party will cry, 'we can't let old people starve in the streets, do without their meds, etc. etc. etc.' . . . . and they will carry the Republic away - their plan all along for a century!
