We have to borrow 40 cents for every dollar we spend now. How are we going to subsidize even more peoples lives? You cant even cover our deficit as it is today, even if you tax millionaires at 100% of yearly income. So what are we going to do just let the government tax us all at 100% and give us back whatever they think is fair?

I take that as a "no."
(No funding exists for it)So the "obligation" (if it exists at all) becomes a moot point.
After all if a business can't afford to pay a so called "living wage" to the slowest "ditch diggers" from its income. the value or production must not exist to support them. Any subsidy comes from thin air or the grace of the
"benevolent violence of big brother "against other "more productive citizens".?????

hate to say it but the only way out of this mess is to have 1/2 or more of the world's population perish from a deadly disease or other calamity.... the Georgia Guide Stones are not kidding when they say "Maintain humanity under 500,000,000 in perpetual balance with nature."

Germany's model does seem to be the most successful: www.tatsachen-ueber-deutschland.de...

also, if you do a ratio of the gallon of gasoline price to minimum wage,
minimum wage should currently be over $20 per hour to equal the purchasing power of 1950s and 1960s dollars.

I blame peak oil or if that is just another tptb hoax, then blame the overpriced gasoline and lack of viable alternative fuel technology.
The price of gas affects literally everything we buy and sell.

Depends on which half dies. Say that all of the younger working generation dies, then whose going to pay for SS and Medicare for the older generation? To me, this isnt a problem about population, its a problem of financial mismanagement and lies from the government. You know when they say SS has a 2.5 trillion dollar trust, there isnt actually money their, just an IOU from the federal government because they already spent the money?
