We’re all in this together: The Truth About Federal entitlement spending « The Progressive Pulse

One might be surprised at how quickly these "poor" and "disabled" will get off their couches and take to the streets when their "entitlements" quit coming because the government has lost the ability to borrow and spend.

That's where our entitlement society is headed. Allen, since you feel so strongly about it, I'm sure you won't mind paying twice the amount of taxes you're paying now, to pay for those who don't work. Because that is also where we're headed.

If the national debt was paid off, and a balanced budget instituted, then we wouldn't be having this discussion, because disability and welfare would be reserved for the most pitiful cases, as it once was.

Newsflash for Allen, one can only borrow and spend until you can't. Then what happens to the poor and disabled. Indeed, what will become of any of us. But, I can sleep better at night, knowing that you, Allen, have the best interests of all at heart. You may send your tax payments to the nearest tax revenue office. Have a nice day!
