Paraphrasing Springer, many of the programs that are so popular today were programs liberals championed and conservatives resisted. Well, just look and Social Security and Medicare.
Clue phone to liberals lots of programs are popular when people get more than they kicked in. The only problem is that they are unsustainable........
The federal government's financial condition deteriorated rapidly last year, far beyond the $1.5 trillion in new debt taken on to finance the budget deficit, a USA TODAY analysis shows.
The government added $5.3 trillion in new financial obligations in 2010, largely for retirement programs such as Medicare and Social Security. That brings to a record $61.6 trillion the total of financial
promises not paid for.
Now look at the mess we have when the people who have been footing the bill for past recipients get nothing. Just how popular will that program be Jerry?
