When will the government stop enabling the Amercian people and let them suffer the consequences?
When there's no other choice, I suppose. But think about it. Amercians are greedy spenders, etc. So, what happens when your family member keeps gambling? If you give them money, aren't you enabling them to keep gambling? If they are drinking, and you work to pay all of the bills, do all of the housework, take 100% care of the kids, aren't you letting them keep drinking? If your friend crashes with you and never works, and never searches for a job, aren't you allowing it to continue by taking care of them? It's time to pay for what we have done, self included. We could not afford all of this, the big houses, living without extended family (may een be a things of the past, soon), the I-Pods, hey, this is my boyfriend's computer but I haven't even bought one in a long time. The new car every couple of years, the designer clothes, the cheap things from China that made someone else's country rich. Getting lazy on manufacturing and being too poor of quality to even ague to buy American, even if we wanted to keep the moneyhome. Fighting a crazy and long war with little to show for it. What else have we done wrong? Looking to live to 125 on 35 medications when we can't even think straight or leave the nursing home to go see our families, who will ahve to get over losing us anyway. Paying a gazillion dollarsa to have kids, when teen moms (yes, I kept mine at 17, stupid, an infertile couple coudl have had a kid, btu I lvoe him and couldn't bear it now, still, how selfish? wasn't like that in the 50's!) Time to go into a long depression and pay for our mistakes.The government can no longer enable us. Time to pay what is long past due. I'm right in there with you, though I was hormonally whacked and laid off with 25 others, etc etc., I've done what most of us have done. Time to pay.

At about the time our original 13 states adopted their new constitution, in the year 1787, Alexander Tyler (a Scottish history professor at The University of Edinburgh -- pronounced "Edinborough" -- had this to say about "The Fall of The Athenian Republic" some 2,000 years prior: "A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government. A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover that they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse due to loose fiscal policy, (which is) always followed by a dictatorship." "The average age of the world's greatest civilizations from the beginning of history, has been about 200 years.- During those 200 years, these nations always progressed through the following sequence: From Bondage to spiritual faith; From spiritual faith to great courage; From courage to liberty; From liberty to abundance; From abundance to complacency; From complacency to apathy; From apathy to dependence; From dependence back into bondage."

Your question should ACTUALLY read: "When will the American people stop enabling the GOVERNMENT, and let THEM suffer the consequences!?" We have all been duped, lied to for years..it is NOT the people's fault..is is the corruption and greed in the White House, and in the world-wide banks and the Federal Reserve. Don't believe it? Check out the following links, and be aware of what is really going on behind the doors of the REAL EVIL-DOERS.. The American people deserve to know the TRUTH!!!

I never read your post, but I love the comment where the person was saying how we have to learn the "TRUTH" about our EEEvil governement. In my life experience (which is extensive) people who talk about how they know the truth and they're going to enlighten are generally crack pot's who smoked too much dope in their lives and are completely delusional.

I agree a little with you, Happy's response, Brown Lynn, Sue L, and the troph. The one response I'd like to go into greater detail on is Happys. So according to the premise that democracy will never be a permanent form of government. How is it that it has survived this long. The document you speak of seems to be a "treatise" that is to be "official doctrine" of the future. So the demise of this "inherently flawed democracy" is beyond repair and rather than fix it, a form of government that already partially exist, will replace it, and will stand the test of time. It is called The New Republic, in which the members are sworn to secrecy. They are to eradicate any forms of government contrary to their own. They are to replace the democracy with a "one party" rule. All others will be subjected to their will. Later, they will understand their "New Republic" as a monarchy. As for the New Republic, because they have forsaken the democratic process, and have been instucted from god, they will emerge as gods chosen people and establish a church as the one true god. There they will institute among themselves a religion that destroys all other religions and there they will have 1000 years of peace. BTW, the Roman Empire lasted about 5000 years before it became so oppressive that peoples from near and far joined together and defeated them.
