From The Federalist Papers bookface page


Today Rep. Ron Paul, whose maverick presidential bids shook the GOP, said in the wake of this week's elections that the country has already veered over the fiscal cliff and he sees no chance of righting ship in a country where too many people are dependent on government.

"We're so far gone. We're over the cliff," the Texas Republican told Bloomberg Television. "We cannot get enough people in Cong
ress in the next 5-10 years who will do wise things."

"People do not want anything cut," he said. "They want all the bailouts to come. They want the Fed to keep printing the money. And they don't believe that we've gone off the cliff or are close to going off the cliff. They think we can patch it over, that we can somehow come up with some magic solution.

But you can't have a budgetary solution if you don't change what the role of government should be. As long as you think we have to police the world and run this welfare state, all we are going to argue about is who will get the loot."

Do you agree or disagree and why or why not?

I agree, this country has gone to he** in a hand-basket. It's not really all the politicians fault because the people vote them in. (For the most part)

This generation is weak and they for some reason feel someone owes them something. I was just talking about it tonight with an old school buddy who has kids. It stems from kids being spoiled and pampered to much I think. Most kids have a video game console and a cell phone that surfs the net making exercise or real human interaction a thing of the past.

Having games where there "are no losers." Everyone wins and excuse me for being realistic, but that's not how life is. They, for the most part, are the generation of "Gimmie, Gimme, Gimmie," yet they don't realize that for everything they get, someone had to give up something.

So in response to this question, yes I agree with this statement if we as a nation don't start cutting, not reducing, some of these programs that take away the process making people accountable for their actions, we will sink this once great nation.

Viva, la Ron Paul.
