I hate to say it, but Republicans have too often helped to birth and nurture the trends (via compromise) that are now eating their lunch. I really don’t see anything turning it around short of the Entitlement system collapsing of its own weight.

I very much agree with that assessment.

But I also believe the entitlement system is IN collapse. There is simply no money to be had to sustain it. It is well known to someone, I just do not know who.

I do not understand why the dumblecrats are so intent on raping and robbing this country of all of its wealth. I see the game being played but not the end of it.
I do not understand how the Al Frankens and even the Chuck Shumers are so America hating that they cannot see what they are doing in the name of “fayerness”. I do not believe they are smart enough to engineer our inevitable collapse.
Can the reason be as simple as they willing grab all they can while they can and damn the consequences? Really? Are they that stupid or is something else going on?

Actually, yes. If the System does collapse, its an open question as to what will replace it. We may assume that a collapse will make people come to their senses. That is just one possibility of many. Another increasingly likely possibility, however, it that it will become a pseudo-Marxist state where all is controlled by everyone’s standard of living declines, but the bottom 40-50% retain a cushion at the expense of everyone else. And, of course, the Elites that prove cooperative will be rewarded and allowed to retain their status in some form. We will still call ourselves the United States and give lip service to “freedom”, but it won’t be a Capitalist Republic—it will be a Marxist oligarchy.

Think its not possible? Take a hard look at Venezuela. Its what happens when people care more about free stuff than freedoms. Many of these Libs that push these policies may be counting on staying in power no matter what.
