Deja Vu
Well, you don't have to be a rocket scientist to look over this cartoon from Chicago Tribune from 1934 and see the similarities to the politics that is being practiced nowadays.Note the text on the sign at the lower left.
In another post on this blog, I mention the discussion I had with Mitt Romney when he walked into a local Starbucks with presumably his advance team. My question to him was if in his opinion the people (the demographic of younger people such as those at the Starbucks) had any idea of what was in store for them. He stated emphatically "They have absolutely no idea."
Do we think they and many other Americans know now what is in store, or do they still believe the likes of Glenn Back and Ron Paul are screaming crazy alarmists? Where will all the non-believers be when it comes to pass. Will they run and hide like roaches. Will ANYBODY be found who will admit that they were the ones thinking Paul and Beck were crazy?

Just to be Fair About It
From a recent news item
9/1/2012
Obama would make permanent the American Opportunity tax credit, created as part of his 2009 economic stimulus program. The credit provides up to $2,500 a year per student for college costs but is due to expire Jan. 1. Renewing it would cost an estimated $13 billion next year alone.
Says one college student to the other, "Oh, what the heck, 13 Billion here, 13 Billion there. Small change, as long as I can get my education at the other guys expense.
You see folks, this is how the STATE does it. It gives each of us a little piece of the pie and then once at the public trough, we are wont to leave it, coming up with all sorts of justifications why OUR feeding/"need" is appropriate but the other persons isn't.
BTW - the article also mentions how the average tuition cost went up about $ 8000 last year. Gee, go figure, the government prints and gives away free money and the prices of things goes up. Of course spending goes up when the money is "free".
