At some point we may finally get a leader who gives it to us straight, otherwise this country will be going tits-up very soon - kinda like Greece...
1) Taxes need to go up across the board.
2) The retirement age needs to increase.
3) Inflation can't be stopped forever.
4) Government salaries need to be lowered.
5) The government can no longer lend fake money to banks at 0%.
6) Government and personal debt must be reduced.
7) Budgets need to be balanced.
8) Reliance on fossil fuels MUST be reduced, even if it is painful.
We can't keep going on like this. Over 40% of our federal budget is based upon borrowed money. Our food is too cheap. Our goods in general are too cheap. We can't just keep buying crap from China, just because it is cheap. We can't throw everything away all the fucking time.
Difficult choices are needed, or we will be fucked!
I can go on with many examples, but most of you will think I am a crazy radical - if you don't already think that now.
