Ross Perot débuted a new website this past Monday, June 16, 2008 with lots of charts helping to explain our nations economic dilemma.

It is very informative and interesting to see our government's explosive growth, particularly, mandatory entitlement spending.
A must read for informing our citizenry.

Got to love Perot's charts and graphs. A good recommend in watching the video, makes it a little easier to understand yet still very complex. My interpretation is we are in DeeP ShiT.
ReplyDeletethe test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have to little.

Cruggly......I have to say - I believe FDR AND Eleanor had it wrong. Think about it. "those who have too little" has evolved into those who DO too little. That mindset has created multiple generations of welfare recipients and people who are collecting Disability/SSI and are really capable of working - I mean there is something they can do to earn a living. I'm not saying that 100% of people who are recipients don't need it.....but I would bet MOST are milking the "system". And Social Security? What a scam! The "New Deal" has proven to be the Raw Deal. Politicians have been raping that system for so long there is virtually no hope of salvaging it....shy of taxing the citizens into the ground. No....the only thing that brought the economy out of the hole under the FDR was the fact that we got involved in a war that created the need for the govt. to dump millions of dollars into private industry (the auto manufacturers) who converted their assembly lines into lines that manufactured tanks and planes which created many, many jobs for the citizens. I think it's safe to say that the TVA created by FDR didn't create remotely as many jobs as private industry.
ReplyDeleteAnd Doug......I'm afraid that quote will prove to be true soon enough.
Great charts and sure does look like we are in deep stuff here. Do you suppose our congressmen and senators would consider a 30% cut in their pay to help work out the problems with the deficit? Wouldn't they be screaming about such a cut, but its OK to say lets cut Social Security and Medicare/medicade, plus vets benefits. Something smells in Washington, and I think I know what it is.

Sometime's, aid is a double edge sword. Without the handouts some would just become rogue criminals and won't care about jail, three hot's and a cot in jail costs much more than providing for those that won't work. That being said it doesn't make it right.
ReplyDeleteI don't like it either, however it may take a generation to get things back to economic stability. Right now the government still funds unwed mothers, more of an incentive to have more welfare babies.
Getting those who are dependent on welfare off of the government teat, will only be an advancement for our nation and all peoples.
Good luck reducing social program spending when Hussein Obama becomes president. Reparations for slavery, programs for illegals , oh yeah it will be an entitlement giveaway.
ReplyDeleteWhy buy a cow when you can get the milk for free? Because when the cow dies there will be no milk at all (WIC) Only the strong will survive.
