However ...Yes, Debbie and Matt - that is the goal. However the progressives can't seem to accept that such a system is unsustainable. Witness the Soviet Union. Certainly, Reagan's policies helped push it over the edge, but largely it collapsed from all the bureaucratic red tape and dependency which socialism fosters. Even the "soft" socialism of western Europe has shown itself to be unsustainable. That is the one problem with where we are as a nation now. I fear we are going to have to go through some serious withdrawal pains before we have a chance of setting things right. There were always about 25% of the populace that favored the incumbent administration no matter what. I'm just concerned that even with all the warning signals and clear evidence in their own words, 40% or better still think Obama (and by extension Democrats) are doing a good job). Thirty years of brainwashing and handouts has made inroads.Alligatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03764752508206031685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320479736034351430.post-91792983217426791032011-04-07T22:20:42.759-05:002011-04-07T22:20:42.759-05:00Debbie nailed it.

Well i hope, either way, you're still heading that way.<br /><br />Places like the UK are further down the road than you are, the NHS is their biggest employer. This is how government grows to a point where it keeps itself in power, in essence you can't get rid of it, cos it's a voting block on its own.MathewKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14385674205383405783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320479736034351430.post-65094411639270833732011-04-07T14:01:25.381-05:002011-04-07T14:01:25.381-05:00“Our government teaches the whole people by its ex...“Our government teaches the whole people by its example. If the government becomes the lawbreaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy.” —Louis Brandeis<br /><br />We should assume a parallel when government teaches us we are entitled to substantial wages and yet, produce nothing of value. We should not be surprised when most employees of the US government will vote for a presidential candidate who promises them job security by growing government, as opposed to a candidate who intends to make government smaller.
