Personal - #501 - #77 - Can “Democracy” give everything to everybody?

The U.S. hasn’t enough treasury to give everyone a new house and a new standard of living. The clever few, who became educated and motivated to improve their standard of living, did just that. The many, lazy and unmotivated people left it to the government to “give” them their unearned “boost” in their standard of living. It just doesn’t work that way!
For the “unmotivated and unlearned” this may be news!

But “Democracy” can give you the unlimited “opportunity” to acquire these things. That’s why everyone wants to come here! …… It’s the “opportunity”!
On longer does station at birth, title, or anything else; stand in the way of “opportunity”!
It is a stroke of genius or luck, that this country has achieved this state, so far.

But “opportunity” does not mean “giving”. To change our ways to “giving” means the end of “opportunity”. So many now believe in the “giving” that our land is close to the end! First a house, then welfare, then medicare, then who knows what. “Democracy” hasn’t the treasury to “give” everything to the world. (Just “opportunity”!)

The “bailout” program attempts to create the politicians’ “old” policy of “giving” to the unmotivated rather than having them “earn” it! …..T’aint possible!
The “bailout” tries to give an unknown, automatic $700,000,000 to create “juice” for the credit lines we have become so used too. To buy a car, to finance furniture, yes, even to gain the title to a house; we have become use to credit, the ability to pay in the future what we wish to use now!
Another part to the “bailout” is the unknown and untried ability to renegotiate a fixed contract. (now known as a “mortgage”!)
We still want to “give”!
We haven’t the treasure to do it all!
Because as we said “Democracy CAN”T give you everything!

If we still attempt to “give”, we could easily change this into a 3rd world country!

(Of course. “to the world” is impossible and, in many cases, “unwarranted”. But to try to just “give” to the U.S.A. without the world is also impossible. What about “globalization, etc.”?)

Are you ready to live in a 3rd world country?
