Turn away from Mathews/Maddow/Blitzer for just a moment. No disagreement with some of your post, yet to assign blame to the Repubs for running the ship into the ground is more than slightly disingenuous. You make mention of "a pretty big welfare system" yet say that they are just a small piece of the pie. Take a moment and scratch up some readily available facts, such as the ADDITIONAL $4 Trillion shoveled into the entitlement pit over the last 6 years, with a barely measurable increase in the infirm and sick, or 40% of Social security spending is SSI and not retirement, and then, look up TEA PARTY. I follow their activities closely and have yet to see a call by them, or the Republicans, for elimination of taxes. Thats like tossing a molotav cocktail into the post. The issue for aware, American, wage earning taxpayers is the sustained attempts to institutionalize the level of spending, and associated expansion of government at the Federal level, brought on by the Democrats since 2006. When my grandparents required care, my family took them in. When my grandmother needed more care than we could provide, it was paid with her savings and family contributions. Is there another way to do it? And you talk about herd mentality. Finally, your closing comment tells me that you were nearly always, if not always, last picked for team sports.
