[kirgi08]

It fits.'08.

[lawman800]

Goes well with the other active thread about entitlement mentality.

Now I see why you edited.'08.

Yep…aboslutely hysterically funny if it weren't so tragic…you hear the inflation numbers remain at a low x.xx %, not including volatile food and energy prices…


Announcers actually say this with a straight face.

Or they include fixed assets (deflated housing prices) with consumables, mixing apples and oranges and making it look like the overall inflation rate is down. You don't buy a house every week, but you do buy food and fuel every week.

[lawman800]

You don't buy a house every week?

The other thread is going strong on the entitlement mentality of someone's neighbor in time of crisis.

Poverty breeds poverty, and excess breeds excess. The rich WILL continue to accumulate wealth, and more and more will have less and less. Nature of the beast. It's not republican/democrat - it's human, it's greed.

#2 The level of lifestyle that the large middle class in this country enjoys is fundamentally unsustainable. We did that to ourselves. You can see the growth of imaginary economic prosperity throughout the 60's, right through the 70's, up to today. That will collapse and be eaten away. You'll go either up to the rich end, or down to the poor end. How rich are you REALLY? What skill and value do you have REALLY. every person over-estimates themselves to amazing degree's IMO.

#3 EVERY society has eventually came to a point where poor masses have ravaged a rich minority (a couple of exceptions - but very different cultures. And they are on their way there.

I always find it funny though - as a "middle class struggling person" you are probably wealthier than 90% of the worlds population. The poor in this country have no idea how poor they are not.

I think it's sad that we have some of the problems we do. There is no reason that a large number of basic health services aren't provided gratis just for being a tax paying citizen. Incredibly brilliant children who want to do good things for society and mankind can't afford an education, while rich dooshes go to harvard with one intention: Getting richer. And they already grew up with way more than any 10 people could want. I think that it is unbelievably tragic that children go without food and clothes in this country. But they do. There are a lot of ways to solve those issues. And you can do it without becoming a "welfare" state, or encouraging people to do nothing.

But the people that make those decisions are wealthy, and their number one goal is to stay that way, and they are paid to make laws that keep money for even wealthier people. You think a CEO of a mega corporation works any harder than anyone else? Nope. But he's going to make sure he keeps ALL of his money - and get as much of yours as possible.

We made wealth and material things the most important thing on the planet - now sit back and enjoy. we have lost touch with the difference between success and excess - and it's going to bite us.

And I don't know you EMT - but like I said; You are worried about the poor masses coming for you? You need to worry about the wealthy and powerful who exist to make YOU part of the poor masses.

Agree.

Almost a year later, and now the White House is refusing to rule out the possibility of minting one trillion dollar coins to pay off the debt. We also found out that we crossed the tipping point of 51% of the people realizing they can vote for obamaphones and other people's money.

Looks like the plan will be to keep the gravy train running forever. Of course there comes a time when plans collide with reality.

And that you may have to deal with, with smaller capacity magazines.

Happy new year.

It is. Gives people perspective.

I just ran back through the last couple of pages and realized that this whole thread was PHDC.

[LongGun1]

What happens when the hand-outs stop?

Maybe...very bad things...maybe...beginnings of good things!

[certifiedfunds]

I wonder if tc556socialistguy will come back to the thread?

[rj1939]

By the time the handouts stop, Ecoscience will be implemented...........sometimes called the Fourth Reich.

[actionshooter10]

I can say with 100% confidence that the death rate will increase if the handouts stop.

I saw a t-shirt recently that had "Our forefathers would be shooting by now" printed on it. Seems pretty relevant.

Dude, you not only have the best avatar on the forum but you have the best signature line too!

How much do you predict the death rate will increase?

[kirgi08]

I'd say %50.'08.

Thanks. They say the best measure of a man's intelligence is how much he agrees with you...lol.

Conservatively, I'd say that we'd lose at least 20% of the population from either violence or starvation.

[lawman800]

The sad thing is that this gives them a perfect reason to declare martial law and suspend habeas corpus and all the other good things that a tyrant would love to do, if any violence comes to pass by patriots looking to protect the country.

Don't forget about the loss of medicine/treatment or facilities.'08.
