Here is a fact. These social programs advanced by the elected reps are "feel good". They feel better, the electorate feels better taking care of the disadvantaged, the non or limited contributors feel better getting a bigger piece of the pie, but, sort of like smoking dope, the feeling fades. The elected need something more to assure their return to DC, the electorate gets complacent with regard to outcome, and the non or limited contributors realize more can be had, they need another buzz. Election cycle after election cycle, this continues, and grows, and moves faster. Now, we are going broke, financially and spiritually, at the national, corporate, and individual levels, so we start looking at causes. It seems that there are no performance measures tied to the spending legislation, that they/we have created a cyclone that feeds on everything it comes onto contact with, and any effort to contain or restrain it would be political suicide, or have the advocate labeled a "racist", "ageist", or some other easy "ist". Until we, as the electors, demand that every dollar spent should be accountable to the stated outcome, we will have more of what we have until the printing presses run out of ink. We, as electors, must demand across the board spending reductions, including "entitlements". We must demand that every tax increase dollar (including the expiring temp tax cuts)is matched by two dollars in spending decreases, with the net gain + savings applied to debt reduction. Now, the current occupant of 1600 PA Avenue is talking VAT to reduce THEIR debt. VAT be DAMNED !!!! VAT proponents be DAMNED !!!
