unfortunately because of human nature a country can't be a 'little socialist' - meaning we provide a safety net for those who really need it. once the governement starts handing out money and services there's no going backwards.

Sly's post is good - make social assistance work for everybody, make people work for it, contribute until they don't need it anymore - unless you can produce a medical certificate that says you can't do anything you are going to do something.

there is no way out of the economic mess the US is in, millions of people are going to hurt for a long time simply because the standard of living that millions became accustomed to was based on credit and the well has run dry.

I was reading an article about young people, they are ready for this. this generation doesn't leave home or want to that badly, they don't care about material things that much other than technology, they need internet and a cellphone but they don't have the same dreams previous generations had for their own McMansion and 2 late model cars in the driveway.
