Bewildered by what is happening to the United States of America? Are these the last days of America as we know it? Consider that since the autumn of 2008 the federal government has taken over or taken control of 30% of all private enterprise profits in the U.S. You say, come on, that really did not occur or could not occur in the U.S. Well did you know the feds effectively took over the banking system, the insurance companies and two major car companies (GM and Chrysler)? The (so far) attempted take over of the entire health care system (which is 1/6th of our economy just by itself) would add another 18% private business profits takeover. Moreover, the Cap and Trade bill that passed the House of Representative in 2009 and is pending in the U.S. Senate, would add an additional 8%. That would get it up to 56% of private business wealth controlled by the feds. The student loan program is on deck at the Senate as the House already passed it. All of this was unimaginable just 18 months ago.
Before this historic takeover started, the federal government already controlled about 20% of the entire economy. This via various programs such as Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, Food Stamps, Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), Federal Housing Assistance-loan payment subsidies and rental subsidies, Home Energy Assistance and the list goes on and on. One can easily say we are already at least a quasi-socialist country. Progressives want the so called "progress" of more and more of the federal government controlling our economy. Will the U.S. survive such an overhaul? At this point it seems unlikely, especially given the already crushing, unsustainable U.S. debt. The current Administration and Congress seem to be employing the Cloward and Piven strategy. David Horowitz aptly explains the strategy as: "The strategy of forcing political change through orchestrated crisis. The "Cloward and Piven" strategy seeks to hasten the fall of capitalism by overloading the bureaucracy with a flood of impossible demands, thus pushing society into crisis and economic collapse." They said this would allow "for major economic reform at the national level." In other words, collapse the system in order to rebuild it the way they want. Me thinks into a dictatorship because after all under the progressives philosophy, the elitist know what is best for us. We, the people, are just too stupid to know what is in our best interest.
Fascism is essentially a heavy-handed, strong central government that extensively regulates private businesses and corporations. One could argue we are nearly there now or there is not much time left to avert it. With the almost impossible yearly deficits and mounting U.S. debt, the Cloward and Piven strategy appears to be alive and well. The natural "progression" after the collapse would be toward communism (can you say power grab?) with the necessary redistribution of property and wealth so there is more economic equality for everyone. Economic egalitarianism without much regard for individual efforts or reward for individual hard work. Demise from within the U.S as often predicted. We can see if before our very eyes.
Please, please wake up America - it is still not too late!
