Any number of cities and states are going to the feds for their own bailout. New York is talking about an 18% tax increase. Why don’t these idiots see the ONLY viable solution?
Cut spending ? drastically, immediately, and permanently.
[i] [b]We interrupt this message for a minor rant:[/i][/b]
Silly me, I know why. Because people ALSO have their hands out (and/or heads in).
Don’t believe the nonsense about government employees earning less than their private counterparts – not true.
Don’t believe that all people who are on the government dole are homeless, helpless, or otherwise [i]needy[/i] – not true.
Don?t believe the demagoguery of those who try to convince people that government is needed to solve individual problems ? not true.
Don?t believe that the role of government is to take care of people from womb to tomb ? not true.
Don’t believe the hype that government must [i]invest[/i] in one industry or the other to [i]create jobs[/i] or otherwise [i]encourage[/i] development – not true.
Don’t believe the [i]man-caused[/i] global warming and/or climate change crap – not true.
For twenty friggin? years the global warming scare-mongers have been predicting ever-increasing environmental disaster, but we?re no closer to seeing truth to their predictions than we were twenty years ago. For those same twenty years, I, and people like me, have been predicting a financial disaster if we continue on the path of runaway government spending and dependency, and each and every year, we?ve SEEN evidence that we?ve been inching closer and closer to that inevitable end. Each and every year we?ve seen evidence that we?re closing-in on the prediction that a system of too much government dependency will eventually collapse under the weight of its own obligations.
We’re going to he11 in a handbag, and too many people are still jumping into the handbag, while too few (like me) are trying to hold it back from falling any further. When will people wake up? Stop turning to the people (big government) who’ve caused the problems – dismiss them.
[i]We now return to your regularly scheduled discussion.[/i]
