So Greece admitted to "cooking it's books" to "join the Euro". Without further explanation, what this means is that Greece is broke. They got no money yo. Maybe they should sneak the whole country into America and we could subsidize their whole operation for them. What the hell, we've been doing it for Mexico for a hundred years. Does anybody even live in Mexico any more? Anyway...
Anybody reading this think this sounds familiar? Does anyone have even the slightest inclination toward thinking that just MAYBE we've been cooking our books just a bit? "We can't be out of money, there's still ink and paper in the press".
Apparently what happened was that "Teachers, municipal workers, pensioners and even members of the military have taken to the streets in recent days, protesting pay cuts and increased taxes." If teachers, muni workers and their own military are going to start blowing up their own country, what do we have to look forward to here? Can you imagine??? America will have to cut programs at some point in the future. We HAVE to. Of course first there will be a tremendous amount of tax increases and new taxes first. And those who will be saddled with that burden will also rebel. But after there's no one and no where else to go for more tax, the next step is cutting the programs. Can you imagine what's going to happen during that second wave of entitlement reform? There will be cities set ablaze! There will be violence and destruction like you can't believe when there's nothing more left to hand out.
Face it, with the direction our out-of-control government is taking us, this will be a reality. The spending far exceeds the income which is why there's a defecit. It simply isn't sustainable. I don't remember the exact statistic (time frame and dollar amount) but I believe it was within 30 years at the current rate of increase of government spending, the national debt will exceed the aggregate value of EVERYTHING in the country! That means we'll owe more that the whole country is worth. That means real estate values, businesses contained within our shores, infrastructure, resources available - EVERYTHING!.
Well, take a look around. Have things changed a lot since you were a kid? For the better? Not looking like it's getting better does it?
On another topic, I think I agree with all the environmental, "save-a-tree-and-lose-a-job" activists on this one. We should conserve our natural resources and try to burn less fossil fuel. So here's my new plan to go green and still keep my house warm: Save coal, burn a liberal.
