If taxpayers had to pay up real time for all government spending you would see a different group of protesters. We all know but refuse to face the facts that Medicare, Social Security, SS Disability, state and federal retiree benefits, welfare both justified and fraudulent, the cost of illegal immigration,etc etc cannot be paid for but are woven into our society. I hope I'm wrong but I sincerely believe we have gone beyond the tipping point. Any thought or movement towards a balanced budget will accelerate our movement down the drain. Protesting and rioting are on the upswing. Can we recover?

Sure there is a way out. Stop funding it. Eliminate it. Poof...it's gone. What the 50 million people who depended on it do...well THAT is the question. So in effect...you may be correct.
It comes to about $3,000 a year for EVERY man woman and child. $12,000 for each family of 4. When you consider about 1/3 of the population pays for everyone else...it's over $35,000 a year that would be passed to the actual workers who PAY taxes. Quite a chunk...agreed?
Only those are unfuded by taxes...SS and medicare ARE paid for by those who work through deduction.
We have already gone beyond the tipping point...Hispanics ARE the majority within 30 years and we DO become "Mexico II".
Where do you cut over $ trillion a year? It's about 25% of the budget...borrowed. Welfare costs that much. But what do you do when they revolt? Quit supporting them and they'll go nuts.
Sure it is...they're jealous and they have others who are jealous joining forces with their cause. Women are joining up with the other minorities under an "everyone deserves equality" banner.
We MUST stop it before we can recover. Merit based EVERYTHING. RAISE the standards back up. STOP quotas. Stop LYING to the public. ADMIT the sexes and "races" are VERY different and work WITH those differences and not against them. THROW OUT THE ANCHOR BABIES. They are here illegally, they are NOT citizens. Make the proper ruling and get them out.
Or...all will be lost.
