It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

Like Dave said this is nothing new, and we are stuck with politicians who think special interest is "free meal ticket" The level it has risen to is appalling. Every day at work in the maternity unit, I'm amazed at the number of illegal aliens having kids free on our dime. People just accept this is o.k. We have third generation crack head/ welfare families, that purposely get pregnant early, to avoid working. I think Dave is also right, we need to start defending our borders, kicking out illegals. Here in california, people have come up with the lame thought that what we we do without illegals to do all the manual labor, my answer is hire somebody here legally who wants work and a better life. It's sad because it's not going to get better, and like Bob said, the needy will soon outway those who are providing for their needs.
I registered my new used car this last week. a ten thousand dollar car cost 1,148.00 to register. Mind you this is a used car, taxes already paid once on it. I asked the AAA guy what the 15 different fees were. He said it was voted illegal to raise the taxes on registration, so they made new fees. One fee and I am not making this up, was a DUI fee. I asked what that was for, and he just shrugged! It's got to end somewhere, and I'm thinking keeping the powder dry is a dang good idea!" "No matter where you go, there you are!" Steve.

I don't know that I'd subscribe to a military coup, but it is conceivable that the producers will slowly tire of being taken advantage of and quit working as hard. In part I believe that's why this non-declared recession continues to drag on. The producers don't really know what's in store for them, except that they know they are repeatedly demonized and targeted.....................not exactly a motivating environment.
This is a situation about 75 years in the making, if you've ever heard the story about boiling a frog you get the picture. This post is an example of why it's going to be virtually impossible to fix (and I like to think of myself as optimistic, but in a realistic way). There is no silver bullet problem, or solution. It's layer upon layer upon layer of seemingly reasonable ideas that are well intentioned but turn out badly. Only the unique circumstances of post WWII demographics have masked the inevitable outcome.
Last year alone there were over 80k pages of NEW regulations imposed or proposed...............that's in JUST one year............stacked on top of all the tens of thousand that preceded them. The Federal tax code alone is over 70k pages.............that's 70 THOUSAND, for one dept. alone. And in that 80k for last year that didn't include a single page resulting from Obamacare, or the Dodd-Frank financial hoo-ha. Those are each over 2000 pages that set the groundwork for tens of thousands more pages of regulation, and establish bureaucracies to implement/enforce them. The politicians heap all this stuff on, create problems, blame others, and then the sheep run to the politicians expecting them to fix the problems that the politicians caused. How's that for being gullible? And if a politician makes a sincere proposal to somehow fix these entrapping programs he is demonized by his opposition and a dishonest media.
Those with good survival instincts will survive one way or the other, but the young people today have been sold down the river with debt, and constrictions on their life choices................and most have been so propagandized that they don't even have a clue. Enjoy what you can while you can.Your Uncle Bob, Senior Geezer Curmudgeon

Very good points, Uncle Bob!!! ---and the payroll to keep all these bureaucrats on federal, state, county, and local government payrolls has to be a phenomenal dollar number as well!!!!! How many programs, studies, research facilities, and government agencies been established just to justify hiring more and more employees are established annually?? Maybe the governments intention is to hire all of us so that we will become good little bureaucrats and keep our mouths shut to preserver our government paycheck??? Who knows what these clowns in DC are up to, anyway other then piling up debts that can never be paid???Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!

As long a politicians can vote themselves pay raises and whatever other entitlements, they will try to stay in office. They will do that by giving gifts to enough of the public to keep getting the votes they need. It won't end until either the money runs out or they rest of the people stand up and say enough.
