Yeah....I keep seeing threads pop up about the great economic boom.

"Uh, um, ah, we're uh, gaining ground, but uh, um, ah, we're not where we uh, um, uh, wanna be yet, um."- idiot-in-chief.

This has been planned by the DNC, and possibly the RNC as well, for 45 years, or more now. Once you create a free program, like a spoken word, it can never be taken back.

They (the political class, elites) know the more wealth they suck from citizens, to redistribute (in the form of debt) to the poor, the sooner the scales will tip and their programs will take full control of the country. They will have created a society entirely dependent on the central planners (themselves).

Here's the deal. We have so much debt we could never hope to pay it off. At some point the ponzi scheme will implode and they'll swoop in to rescue us with a new currency (digital?) to replace the current bankrupt monetary system. The oligarchs (people at the top of the pyramid) will screw everyone by virtue of ruling a modern serfdom.

Food Stamps, ACA, unrestructured SS, unfunded liabilities, endless wars, executive orders and politicians breaking the law... etc. It's all designed to bring the house down.

Change without the Hope


Ask yourself why progressives are always talking about changing the Constitution, to near obsession.


Why change something that has created the freest, most successful, wealthiest, strongest, and most diverse country in the world?

Why?

I'm 1 of those "bums" living on food stamps, NEVER needed them till 2013 and still getting them in late 2014. Things are THAT bad with me. Trust me; once I'm doing good again, bye bye to food stamps. The sooner the better.

There is no shame using food stamps, the program was made specifically to help those in need, unemployment can hit anybody anywhere in the US, accidents, medical bill can ruin a life.

There is a list of famous people in Hollywood, Sports , TV and music who were once on Food Stamps , apparently the famous Larry King of CNN, was once on Stamps.
