Then the government will give you support, medical, food stamps, etc. etc. for the rest of your life and you'll be better off than you were before with less stress. You've got a support system to fall down into.<br /><br />You've got to get out of the middle and enjoy the socialism at the top or the socialism at the bottom.

That could be us in the end. Of course a candy bar might cost $100 and a home in California might just finally be worth a half million dollars.Jim in San Marcoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09435296419912935381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27697009.post-69866554371735343862011-12-21T18:51:30.195-08:002011-12-21T18:51:30.195-08:00Hi Tyrone

School teachers, firemen, the police and welfare. We are already feeling it.<br /><br />If they keep printing dollars, we could be making $100K a year and barely getting by, and that's the part that worries me--I'm getting old.Jim in San Marcoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09435296419912935381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27697009.post-76359970170048110352011-12-21T17:22:59.186-08:002011-12-21T17:22:59.186-08:00Jim,

The next step in the evolution of history is to throw off government;;; reduce it to very small size and only let it care for a nation's infrastructure and protect it from aggression. That is ALL.<br /><br />Government does nothing but steal our wealth, invade our personal and business lives, involve themselves in our private lives, create wars and destruction, ruin economies and so on.<br /><br />It's time for the next phase of evolution on this planet. <br /><br />END BIG GOVERNMENT.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27697009.post-52181761182750538952011-12-12T22:30:37.094-08:002011-12-12T22:30:37.094-08:00Food stamps IMHO are an entitlement that needs to ...<i>Food stamps IMHO are an entitlement that needs to be cut by 50%.</i><br />.<br />YES!

I also saw a woman pay for a $300 wedding cake with food stamps.<br /><br />Food stamps IMHO are an entitlement that needs to be cut by 50%. Of course it will never happen. Most government programs will never die, they just get bigger.<br /><br />As for MF Global, it is a sign of the times, things are getting worse and the worse are starting to drop dead. There are more to come.
