Entitlements and promises

This whole mess is really starting to come down on our heads.

This is more reason, why now, more than ever, we need to NOT have a fiscal liberal in the Whitehouse combined with a liberal congress. How much worse would this be if you through in a Universal Healthcare Package.

If you are my age (30s) and you think that Social Security will be a part of your retirement. Think again. We can't afford it now and once the boomers are in it, it's done.

We can't afford this.

The problem is that you have people that have paid into this system their entire lives and now they expect the government to make good on their promises. Can you blame them? This is the huge, enormous problem with government entitlements. People come to depend on the government, rather than themselves. Meanwhile the government takes a bigger and bigger percentage of their paychecks and promises to manage this whole mess better next time.

Their shouldn't be a next time.

Their shouldn't be a this time.

I've heard stupity defined as doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

We've got to say no at some point.
