If you mess up or just don't want top make an effort, don't worry the government will take care of you.

The end of personal responsibility.


Breaking news from 1933?

And 1934?

And 1935, 1936, 1937, 1938, 1939, 1940, 1941, ad infinitum....

....and renewed in 2021.

Correct but the rate of the ellimination of personal responsibility is increasing exponentially now that Biden is president.

If the government moves forward with absolving individuals' debt, it's over.

We have already done that. President Washington signed two pieces of legislation (1794 & 1796) which started the process of getting rid of debtors' prisons in the US, it was a process that took decades with numerous pieces of legislation. Trump would be in prison for debt but was able to avoid it through bankruptcy, stiffing tax payers, vendors and creditors.

The reality today is even if a person makes no effort to better themselves and acts with complete irresponsibility. the government will take care of it all and make the people who work hard and achieve pay for it.

Yea, saw that when a bunch of millionaires and billionaires got a trillion dollar bailout for their companies back in 2008.

Glad though they could keep their wealth they obtained from driving their companies into the ground.

Look at what Obamas administration did back in 2012...creating tough new laws on opioid prescription drugs...thus benefiting the Mexican drug cartels and the heroin industry!
