the de-evolution toward crippled socialism is gradual, firm amazing, simply amazing, JW raise taxes, continue spending and if anything goes wrong, keep sacred cows safe tax the piss out of the poor slobs stupid enough to go lottery as the masses become confused, frustrated, clueles, desperate, they insist on more govt and not less this dovetails with my objection to abdicated responsibility neither voters nor their elected officials are required to act in a fiscally responsible fashion and lest I forget, neither are corporations required if the largest make larger mistakes, the govt bails them out if the economy fails from an asset bubble produced by govt, then print more money and bail it out what we are witnessing is the slowmotion disintegration of the financial integrity of the entire economy the households are up to their ears in debt so are corporations so are state govts so is the federal govt the result is a vast socialist two-ton blanket that becomes impossible to dismantle ever one that is costly to maintain, smothering of economic growth, and devastating to fiscal integrity the problem is ENDEMIC, pervasive, widespread, complete it is politically unacceptable to make spending cutbacks no politicians want to disappoint ANY voter from the Federal Reserve on down, a pernicious sense that money can come from thin air to pay for our excesses Europe is little better we are setting the stage for something big, JW a bigger, more controlling, more evil, mega-govt force / jim
