The sad reality of the future

You cut off the teet they are sucking on.

When there is no more food they will go elsewhere to find food. They can go to a different country that will support them or they can find a job. Either way it will not be easy, crime will sky rocket temporarily but it is the only way we can fix this country.

My guess is that if you put a halt to all entitlements to anyone who is not physically disabled or under the age of legal retirement within a decade you would see employment numbers at all time highs and ghettos will become almost non existent since those who refuse to adapt will either be dead or in prison.

Someone has to teach those 50 kids not to become generational poor. They certainly won't get it from their parents and their environment. The question is how?

The school of hard knocks.......

I would argue it's a rare bird that comes from that weather helped by govt or not, doesn't seem to make much difference. It's evidenced by looking around at the multiple generations of the same families on govt program after govt program for decades, only they keep making more and more of them. A child growing up in such an environment will never get out unless they choose to and the only way to "push" them out is to cut off the programs that make them comfortable to stay in it.

We need to stop this part.

What do you suppose the success rate for this plan would be? This is akin to saying the best way to teach someone to swim is to toss all of them into deep water, and the ones who really want to succeed will make it to shore. Sorry about the others.

You want to fix America economically? You want the majority of American people to wake up?

It's quite simple.

Elect a FISCAL conservative and tell them to keep their damn social values out of politics. People are sick and tired of politicians trying to legislate morality.

The younger generation wants all people to have equal rights. The younger generation does not want the government telling us what we can do with our bodies or who we can choose to have as our partners. What we want is for the fucking government to get out of our lives and do what the government was intended to do. Balance the budget, protect the homeland and leave us the fuck alone.

I'm a TRUE conservative. A true conservative does not believe the government has the right to legislate morality, just like the government doesn't have the right to take money from me to pay for some crackhead and her 50 children.

A fiscally bankrupt society is the byproduct of a morally bankrupt society. Your generation thinks they can do and say anything because it always the fault of someone else. There is a need to regulate behavior and conduct or we have chaos. It is the confederacy of hoopleheads that want to run amok with no consequence that want to scream about morality.

And if you think some fiscal conservative is going to win the vote of the average moron that votes for the likes of obama claus you truly are not in this reality. Something for nothing trumps get out and work for it in their bubble.

You want me to call a doctor... your heart keeps bleeding... "Compassion is good, charity is good, but too much too often opens yourself up for being taken advantage of."

Heh. I have a soft spot in my heart for kids.

So what laws do you wish were in place to enable and ensure a society that meets your requirements?

If you halted all entitlement programs the urban areas of this country would be in flames within 30 days, if that. It would make Watts, detriot, harlem and LA after the rodney king verdict look like a little league warm up. Of course the white guilt crowd would be the first to go, all the while calling for the law to do something..

Say what you will about the current generation, but the so called "greatest generation" has fucked up this country more than any of the newer generations.
