Governments around the world are all spending far more than what they take in via tax revenue.

When you take all of the political spin and bullshit out of the equation, THIS IS THE PROBLEM.

Lets focus on medicare in the U.S. as that government program all by itself will bankrupt this nation. You can raise taxes on the rich to 90% and it won't come close to paying for this government liability.

When conservatives talk about ending medicare, liberal democrats immediately fire back about "death panels" and say conservatives want to kill seniors.

Liberal democrats believe that EVERY SINGLE PERSON LIVING IN THE U.S. should have unlimited medical care at their disposal whether or not they have the ability to pay for it. When asked about how its going to be paid for, liberals reply back to either raise taxes on the rich or have the government take over the handling of our entire medical care system. These are the only 2 responses they ever give and both won't come close to solving the problem and the latter will make the situation much, much worse.

For the most part, the democrats tell people EXACTLY what they want to hear while republicans tell the truth which is social security and medicare are both absolutely unsustainable.

All of these young liberals who are being brainwashed by their college professors are burying their futures.

The entire socialistic Eurozone is falling apart at the seams with the more socialist nations (Greece and Italy) being in the worst financial condition. Right here in the states, California has the worst financial rating of all 50 states even though the Golden State brings in more state tax revenue than any other state.

I understand why the welfare collectors continue to support the democratic party as they only care about themselves and what they can get for doing nothing. What I don't understand is how hard working Americans can support what the democratic party is doing to this country.

Socialism just doesnt work as evidenced by the world-wide financial destruction of the socialistic Eurozone. Why do liberal democrats want the U.S.A. to go down that very same road?
