VDHs Private Papers: The Great American Debt.
I couldn’t say it any better than he did. The realities of the catch-22 we the voters have put ourselves in with regard to our lack of any discipline is why I don’t believe we’ve yet gotten anywhere near the “bottom” of this economic downturn. There’s a lot of self-delusion at work from the citizenry to the press to the government and until we decide to act like adult citizens and elect adult representatives, we’re in for a long period of pain.
Of course for some that ”hope for change”, this emasculating of America is exactly the goal. Remake America in the image of the rest of the banana republic / statist / second-rate nations. It would be more honest if they just jumped right to the equalization tactics of out-and-out communist regimes of the past and take the doctors out of the hospitals to the fields and the farmers into the hospitals, but then enough true Americanism still runs through enough citizen’s veins that an honest, up front, straight-forward approach wouldn’t be tolerated.
I do have some hope that at least the health care scam has been seen through by enough people that perhaps their vision will be cleared about all else that is being done to “take care of them”. Remember my comment about adults earlier? This is what I mean. Are we adults who care for ourselves and our own or are we mere child wards of the state?
