Why I primarily addressed Social Security and Medicare is that they are two programs that 'liberals', such as yourself use to justify bigger and bigger government and attack those who disagree. These programs are crumbling as I write this. This is failed liberalism.

The current liberal government of the United States is not looking forward, but rather marching backwards to the time of the New Deal. Government stimulus was tried then for 12 years and it did not work then and is not working now. As VK has pointed out, the Obama administration is doing its best to copy Greece with unsustainable welfare programs and deficits. Greece is going down and may well take the rest of the EU with it. Why should we choose to emulate a failed solution?

Go to your union towns, I suggest Detroit, St Louis and East St Louis to see the impact of 'liberal' politics. If you want, I will go to Detroit with you and we can take the Segway tour of a destroyed city - one that was the richest city in the world in 1950. Heck, I'll even pay for your Segway tour! Once you fall in love, you can sell your Villages home and buy one in the liberal paradise of Detroit and have a lot of cash left over. The median price for a home in Detroit is $6,100. Think, do you really leave the conservative values of Florida and embrace the liberal values of Detroit? If you do not, please tell us why a liberal would choose to live in a conservative community rather than a liberal Detroit?
