[quote=SD Realtor]Maybe nsr, however I tend to fall into agreement with the author.
I hope for my kids sake I am wrong but I don’t see the direction of the country changing. I think we have way to much inertia in the “you will be taken care of” direction. We have 10’s of millions who need it, and we have dug ourselves into a hole where we cannot stop providing for them. The party that provides the most will always be elected now.
I see no way out, perhaps others do.[/quote]
It is hard to argue entitlement is out of control, when many see their plight linked to large entities that received government handouts for being “evil.” If jobs reduce dependency on entitlements, then clearly we need more jobs. But jobs that pay enough to provide the incentive to work and soon, before inertia takes a hold and the culture of not working becomes deep-seated. The wealth gap may also be unwittingly pushing the entitlement agenda. In that context, reversing entitlement is difficult to navigate, so learning to live with it and accepting the costs—if equitably spread—is perhaps an answer.
