Entitlement Programs Are Bankrupting Our Country And Our Character

[Geee]

The truth is that America is already bankrupt, the papers have just not been served yet, but if our course is not drastically altered that will happen very soon and when it does the boat will rapidly begin to sink and the people who caused it will run away and enjoy the pensions and benefits they voted themselves while the rest of America is left to swim or drown.

But even more than the disastrous fiscal mess, the foolish alliances, the wasteful foreign aid and the foreign policy goof ups, in my book, the most cruel and destructive thing we have allowed our government to do is the institution of entitlement programs that have made three generations of Americans dependent on the government for their every need.

If you want to see a microcosm of entitlement America just look back at what happened in New Orleans in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.

Next door on the Mississippi Gulf coast where the devastation was just as severe, the day after the storm passed the people were out cleaning up and preparing to rebuild while so many people in New Orleans sat back and waited for somebody to come and get them, move them to safety, feed them and relocate them.

Just look at the nightmare at the Superdome in New Orleans where thugs terrorized defenseless people and the infrastructure of the building was destroyed by people who have no regard for public property.

I know of a case of a good-hearted person who ran a business that served chicken who wanted to help feed the people who were cooped up at the dome so he took chicken sandwiches and water only to be told, "Uh, man I wanted a Big Mac and Fries"

The entitlement programs in this country encourage punks to father scores of children they'll never support, and discourages recipients from taking entry level jobs, destroying their work ethic for a lifetime.

They encourage slums, drugs, laziness, crime, teenage pregnancy, and is probably responsible for the lion’s share of school dropouts.
