Entitlements at 65% of Fed outlays is appalling, especially when compared with level of approx 30% in 1970. Below is a link to an IBD Op Ed that argues time is well past to expect economic growth to fund entitlements. <br /><br />Your conclusion that we need strong leaders right now to address this mess is spot on. A strong persuasive leader must make the case that entitlement reform will benefit all. To stay on the course we are on now, however, will tank our economy to point where there will not be sufficient funding for half the entitlements we have today. This strong leader must clearly present this. He must not only explain we are on a path to a $ collapse but also provide a vision of stronger economic growth possible only with less reliance on the Government and greater reliance on our private economic sector. <br /><br />http://news.investors.com/ibd-editorials-brain-trust/122915-787271-entitlements-must-be-reformed-we-cant-outgrow-their-costs.htm?p=2Economics501https://www.blogger.com/profile/12001939903780698510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3776665703590564248.post-58297129621028702312015-12-29T19:24:24.592-05:002015-12-29T19:24:24.592-05:00My take, only when things get so bad, then people ...My take, only when things get so bad, then people will be willing to accept less government benefits.The Historiannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3776665703590564248.post-23201896924405369182015-12-29T14:58:04.373-05:002015-12-29T14:58:04.373-05:00Votes like this are exactly why the Republican par...Votes like this are exactly why the Republican party has lost a large portion of its base.
