Entitlements are bleeding out of every pore. You can’t take in all the world’s trash and problems without going flat ass broke. There is just not enough to go around.

I see people working for non-living wages. They can’t even support themselves let alone a pack of others. It is not 50% supporting the other 50%. It is much much worse. There maybe 10 to 15% supportig the other 85 to 90%! This is simply unsustainable in every way imaginable.

The facts are ignored because nothing can be done. It has gone too far and the negatives have only been added to. It is a dismal situation.

So dismal in fact that about all there is to do is whistle through the graveyard because what is coming is too dreadful to think about on top of all the other problems we have just day-to-day.

Trump thinks he can make america great again by growing the economy. It is just too late for that but it is nice to think about.

The where we are reminds me of a movie with Gregory Peck, Ava Gardner and Fred Astaire. “On the Beach” It is about a different disaster but about as hopeless a situation as we face now.

Why don’t you put a little sugar or something in your coffee. Your gloom and doom attitude is called defeatism. The AMERICAN way is optimism. EVERY problem has a solution and electing Trump is the best place to start.

They don't want to deal with massive debt problem. Its become pernicious and intractable. They won't cut entitlement because it will cost them votes. And if interest rates rise even slightly, the debt service costs get even worse. They are riding a tiger.

Its kind of like the game of musical chairs except that the object is not to be the administration that's left sitting in the last chair.

Re: “On the Beach”

Had to look up the film on Wiki.

The Australian Grand Prix “suicide” race is an interesting and unexpected idea.
