I think the system has to come to a point where the food stamp debit cards don’t work, the SS deposits don’t happen and the checks don’t arrive in the mailbox.

SS gets means tested so that the truly disabled and poor don’t starve. Federal and state assets are sold to fund them. Government pensions need to share the same pain that private sector pensions and retirement funds face. We’re not going to stand for federal and state pensions to be guaranteed and paid for out of the taxpayers pocket while the private sector takes the hit.

Government consumption of GDP must be constitutionally limited to stay under 10% with no off the books accounting.

Socialism truly will be misery for all. It will be painful to pick up the pieces.

The Fairtax would light a rocket under our economy and alleviate a large part of the pain.

Agreed. I do not think we will reverse the trend to socialism until Joe and Jane Sixpack see socialism failing, in their personal lives, every day.

Voting for GOP candidates who are 10% less socialist than their Dem opponents should be now be a completely discredited strategy, but alas it's not.
