""Inexorable growth in government spending and economic control always lead to the same place - the collapse of society due to increasingly untenable economic contradictions. It happened in the Soviet Union before it did here only because it was more socialized than the west. Whereas the commies were, in theory, 100% socialized, the West only reached a third or so by the early 80's. A similar collapse might have happened here by now, if the West didn't step back from the brink over the last decade and a half. "" The brink???? LOL! That's quite the imagination you have :) For discussion sake, Your right?

Where I live they are continually talking about the need for more subsidized housing, on and on. I can understand that some people need some help, but are we required to support them for their entire lives? Now someone who is disabled and not able to work is one thing. but people who don't like the jobs that are available? I get so tired of people talking about work that is beneath them, but welfare cheques aren't beneath them.
