some conservatives call that a namistate. the truth is what the president wants is what western europe has. a giant government that redistributes income. the problem is social justice costs a lot of money. and some european countries like greece are now exploding in violence because the greek government has run out of cash. it can no longer pay the huge entitlement. so these people are angry. they want to destroy the establishment. with the usa owing more than $16 trillion, those scenes could happen here. it is conceivable. if we keep spending a trillion dollars more than we take in, we will eventually go broke. the only reason we aren't bankrupt yet is that folks overseas are still buying treasury bonds and other u.s. investments. that could stop in a hurry. president obama has not addressed the issue. his theme is, if you tax wealthy americans and corporations more then the debt will get under control. but the figures don't back that up. right now the federal government spends more on welfare than on any other program. and
