As a commentator wrote, the divide is no longer left/right, it's those that can do math and those that can't.
well, wait until rates rise/QE is stopped. market is still being propped up and its going to crash harder than before. investors are only in it for the short term knowing the government is essentially backing their investments. once that party is done the housing crash will look like sesame street (whatever the fuck that means) and nothing from this crisis will pan out. it was all smoke and mirrors. the manufactured recovery on the other hand will end up fucking us all in the ass.
This is what drives me nuts. I WANT a social safety net. I don't want people to starve, be homeless, not to have the basic necessities, not to receive a quality education or have access to the best healthcare in the world. However, because I don't advocate the government play the primary role with all those issues, I'm considered cruel and selfish. I would argue I care more. I want people free to live their lives as they choose. Paul Ryan said it best in regards to Medicare, and it applies to almost every social program the government runs: The best way to end (insert social program) as we know it is (insert social program) as we know it.
Yup. And until entitlements are dealt with in a substantive way, we're really never going to conquer our looming debt crisis.
