Exactly. We are witnessing the implosion of the welfare state. The Dems want to keep it going a little bit longer by increasing taxes and reducing defense spending, but eventually it is a losing game. The programs are unsustainable. We need to go after both the entitlement programs and means tested welfare programs like Medicaid and food stamps if we want to change the fiscal trajectory we are currently on.

Cutting food stamps and medicaid is not going to change the socialist status of our government at all. We need to cut every activity that is outside the Federal govenrment’s constitutional boundries.

Whole departments and causes need to be cut. Trimming off a little from medicaid or food stamps won’t stop the crash.

As we can plainly see from what is going on all over Europe. But the liberals deliberately ignore what is happening in Europe like it isn't really happening, as though the rest of us are all stupid and can't see it.
