They live nice lives in nice neighborhoods and take vacations to Europe and their kids go to good universities. They are unbearably smug. It's depressing, yo. They don't feel the consequences of their votes except when they shake their heads at the high price of college and say it's because states don't subsidize college like they used to or that Republicans are in a war against higher education. They are comfortable in their oblivion.

My presentation went something like this --<br /><br />Bill Gates is walking down the block for a little exercise and a latte. Fortune smiles on him as he spots a $1000 bill lying on the sidewalk. Does he pick it up? No he does not. Here is why:<br /><br />Bill Gates due to his wealth loses/gains millions on each tick of Microsoft stock. For him to pick up that money would not be worth his time. Fact going for that latte will cost him more than the cost of the coffee. <br /><br />The point is dear student if Bill Gates, one of the 10 richest men on the planet, can't have it all what do you think your chances are?? Somehow that sunk in. She is due to graduate with a STEM degree this coming summer.

With a national debt of over $20 trillion dollars plus $100 trillion in unfunded mandates to pay for social security, public sector pensions and medicare, the day is coming soon where Daddy Government will no longer be able to borrow any more money or simply printing off money to pay for these programs. Let alone the free shit leftists want. They won't be able to stick it to the rich or us working folks because there isn't enough of us producers to tax to pay for all of it as well it will de-incentivise further hard work, innovation, entrepreneurship and investment. <br /><br />There will be real budget cuts in the near future and it won't matter who is sitting in the White House or which political party is controlling Congress. When the money and credit lines run out, when the Fed can no longer debase the currency any further, there will be no choice but to cut spending. When that day happens, it will be a sad day for the leftist parasites when the government checks are no longer forthcoming. Two things will either happen. There will either be massive rioting (which will probably happen if Greece is any indication) or they will have no choice but to knuckle up and work any job that will have them.<br /><br />There will be real budget cutDavidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09913514046087514944noreply@blogger.com
