But there are academics in my department who study the welfare state, who don't think there is any problem with the welfare state in Europe. The DOOM (tm Ace) is upon them, and they think we can tax the top 2% earners to a balanced budget. I feel like anyone who engages in such BS should read Iowahawk's budget pay-off breakdown or watch the video-ized version done by Bill Whittle to see why "eating the rich" is possibly the WORST idea to treat trillions in debt and double-digit unemployment.
Oh, and this:
" Does no one else in the media notice this? That after sounding like an adult in the very beginning, and telling the public that any politician who tells you that we can reduce our deficit just by cutting "waste, fraud, and abuse" is a demagogic liar, he then goes on to only specify cuts targeting "waste, fraud, and abuse"? ...
Does no one else notice that we just heard that Obama is a demagogue, and a liar, and unserious about governance from the highest possible authority possible -- the mouth of Barack Hussein Obama himself?"
