Growing US Deficits and Debts Imperil Future Economic Stability Of USA

Beautiful graphic USA Today.  Thank you.

Sadly for the blind, bigoted and economically illiterate none of this matters.

They have been conditioned into "eat a fish today".  Until their are personally impacted by this storm that swirls around us - all of this is mere theory that is debated by legislators and regulators far far away from their daily existence.

In my estimation, however, the gross strategic flaws of today which places more dependency upon this system that has been shown to have a rickety foundation will imperil a growing number of people as our policies shift toward centralized control and resource distribution.

USA Today: Nation's soaring deficit calls for painful choices

What we have is an ideological conflict of the ages.

• One side seeks to express society's "Social Justice" and thus have people SERVICED as an expression of the social contract that our nation has in place as evidence that everyone is equally worthy
• The other side seeks to have a more distributed architecture.  A man or group of humans show their value by being conscious of their own equality and the dignity that flows from it.  From this they will leverage the capabilities and regulate those in their "calling circle" so that the end product of their collective group is the standard of living that they all desire.

I am empathetic to both schools of thought but my loyalties trend toward the later.

Out of both of these constructs must come the following answers:

Since a mandate such as "Health Care Is A Right" is only worth the paper that it is written on if there is no system that stands behind it:

1. What have you done to increase the COMPETENCIES of your people to express this desired standard?
2. What have you done in the way of ordering the resources necessary to obtain this standard of living per the economic choices that you have made?

The differences between the ideologies has mostly to do with the proximity of the "locus of control".  Some wish to have a more nationalized "friends and family calling circle".  Others a more localized one.  In my view the flaw with the nationalized model is that on the way to assuring entitlement rights for all - a gaping hole in the budget is created unless more localized competencies are developed to take the load off of the centralized government.

Failing to do anything about this situation that is clearly documented in the article - those who are pushing for increased entitlement will find that in their jubilation at the "contract signing ceremony" they have merely signed the last labor contract with General Motors just before the bankruptcy proceedings.
