The results are clear enough - massive unfunded entitlements that cannot be touched by elected officials as everyone is on the dole.

Raise the tqxes then. Its your patriotic duty to buy your country back from the chinese.

Cutting spending is nonsensical, why on earth should the challenged of today pay because yesterdays rich didn't care to think about paying for what they've bought? If that's not a scam, I don't know how else to define the word.
