Another entitlement program

Well yesterday (thh 15th), the new medicare prescription drug program started. Another entitlement that will help accelerate this counrty's decline into bankruptcy. The intital cost estimate was 300 billion dollars over 10 years. On the very day it STARTED, the estimate is now 600 billion for the same period. Before it even gets going, it's already doubled. When will people learn that our government has become little more than a vote buying machine. Politicians want to give away as much of other people's money as they can so people will vote for them. The average american, it seems, has become a socialist, dependent on the government to give them everything they want. The era of earning your own living and being responsible for yourself is fast waning. The socialist state is coming soon, leading to the collapse of our republic, and it's dissolution into sud dictatoships.

Think I'm being paranoid? I hope so, but unfortunately histroy says otherwise. The average age of any republic is 200 years. We're a little over that. After 200 years, all previous republics, turned into entitlement prograas. The citizens started electing people based on what they promised to give them. The people learned that they could take other people's things from them by voting for the right person. The city-states of ancient Greece and even the roman empire are examples. The gouging of the "haves" to give to the "gimmes" weakens the republic until it can no longer support itself. Tradiaionally, after the death of each repulic, it would break up into smaller dictatoships. We are following a similar course to those that came before. It looks liek it's too late to stop it. The average person now, has it engrained in their head that the goverment is supposed to give them whatever they want. And that if someone else has more than them, the government should take it away and give it to them. Karl Marx would be proud.

Have your escape plan ready folks. When the government stops pretending to be free and openly exalts its socialist self, it's time to get the f#%k out.

Later faithful fans,
