U.S.S.A.

That's not a typo, and this is not an anti-Obama rant. Look around. Socialism has been embedded into this country for decades. Bloomberg reports today that the Social Security trust funds will run out of money sooner than expected. CBS points out that Arizona, as a state, is not allowed to Mexicans from entering our country illegally because that's the federal government's job, and the federal government reserves the right to not do its job.
I work for a public school in the state of Texas. Funding for education has been cut drastically in our state recently. Parents used to have to pay for their children's education. Folks used to not retire, they just worked less hard and families supported each other. The only difference between our country and the USSR of the cold war is that the USSR wouldn't let people just walk across its borders.
Before you get all up in arms while listening to your talk radio show about the way our country is heading (and has been since its inception), make a list of the government money you're willing to do without. No cute picture or wisecracks to go with this post. Just for for thought.
