" And I don't like it regardless of who is doing it."

Make the case it is mainly pork. Not just pontificate on it.

"But it is a fact, "indisputable" as I like to say, that the programs created under FDR and LBJ are the ones that will bring this country down. "

Like so many of your "indisputable" points, it is, in fact, disputable.

When the history of America is written -- 500 years from now, it will have been SS and Medicare that brought it down IMO.

What does "brought it down" mean exactly? What other country with a far longer history of social responsibility has been "brought down"?
