Yes. A couple of white middle-class guys I work with were suddenly concerned about Obamacare.
#1 “Why don’t they take another look at it,” the one imbecile says. “You’d think they would since no one wants it.”
me screaming: “THAT’S WHAT THE DAMN ELECTION WAS ABOUT!”
Second dude: “What’s so bad about him, what could happen?”
me screaming: “WE’RE ON A FISCAL CLIFF, BANKRUPT WITH THE BIGGEST TAX & SPEND PRESIDENT & SENATE IN HISTORY! NETANYAHU IS ALONE NOW, HE’LL HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO ATTACK IRAN BECAUSE IF HE DOESN’T, IRAN WILL FIRE NUKES AT HIM!”
But I could see #2 was getting upset so I said, “I don’t want to upset you, go on.”
#1 “Too late.”
I think they were truly terrified by the facts I have been endlessly spouting for months. So explain it to me cause I’m at a loss.
“So explain it to me cause I’m at a loss.”
I can’t explain it. It’s just an observation. An eery quiet — my obnoxious liberal cousins are not saying a word on Facebook. It’s almost as though they realize that a hand has been overplayed and it’s too late to go back.
People think that the system will protect them from everything.
The truth is that the system keeps us all from being able to protect ourselves from THEM, the most predatory animal in the world.

In Fiscal Year 2011, the federal government collected $2.303 trillion in tax revenue. Interest on the debt that year totaled $454.4 billion, and mandatory spending totaled $2,025 billion. In sum, mandatory spending plus debt interest totaled $2.479 trillion… exceeding total revenue by $176.4 billion.
For Fiscal Year 2012 which just ended 37 days ago, that shortfall increased 43% to $251.8 billion.
In other words, they could cut the entirety of the Federal Government’s discretionary budget– no more military, SEC, FBI, EPA, TSA, DHS, IRS, etc.– and they would still be in the hole by a quarter of a trillion dollars.
The US government is legally bound to spend more money on mandatory entitlements and interest than it can raise in tax revenue. It won’t make a difference how high they raise taxes, or even if they cut everything else that remains in government as we know it.
