GOVERNMENT IS THE PROBLEM

Here are two charts that show how successful, government solutions are for the citizens of this country. First off, even according to the manipulated and under-reported CPI figures, you have lost 65% of your purchasing power since 1978. Using a real measure of inflation, its closer to 85%, but why quibble. You are slowly but surely being impoverished by the Federal Reserve (aka Wall Street bankers) and the corrupt politicians you elected to represent your interests.

Doug Short presents the cost of college tuition, medical care and new cars over the last 38 years. One of these things is not like the other. The second chart shows the growth in Federal loans to students since 1995. You may notice that prior to the Federal government getting involved in college education, college tuition rose steeper than overall inflation but only by a moderate amount. My tuition at Drexel University in the mid-1980s was in the mid $5,000 range. I was able to work and pay the majority of my tuition, with only a couple thousand dollars in loans.

Inflation Markers

If you are perceptive (that leaves out all libs and government employees) you will notice that as the Federal government has doled out more loans, the cost of college tuition has skyrocketed. You see, just like welfare, you get more of what you subsidize. If the federal government is willing to give your tax dollars to every Tom, Muhammed, or Laquesha to go to college, demand will rise. Since the supply is limited, colleges can raise prices dramatically as they know the Feds are supplying the paper.

DO YOU TRUST THE GOVERNMENT TO SAVE YOU?

These poll results confirm how far gone we are as a society. A full 58% of the ignorant masses have confidence in the Federal government to protect them from ebola. One out of five have no doubt that Obama, the CDC, and a plethora of government drones are on top of this. Have they seen the government response thus far? The CDC told an infected nurse it was alright for her to fly. They haven’t taken the basic step of stopping flights from the countries with the outbreak. The government does nothing well, except spend our money.

After witnessing the last 14 years of government at its finest, how can any critical thinking human being believe the government won’t fuck up anything they touch in an instant?

Fears about a global Ebola pandemic seem to be rising by the day. Over 3,800 people have died in the world’s worst outbreak of the virus, according to the World Health Organisation. Interestingly, one place where there isn’t too much concern is the United States. This is despite the fact that the first person diagnosed with the disease on American soil died, while a nurse that treated him has also become infected.

20 percent of people surveyed by the Pew Research Center said they have a great deal of confidence in the federal government preventing a major Ebola outbreak while 38 percent indicated they have a fair amount of confidence. There is still a small element of fear in American society, however, with just under a quarter stating they do not have much confidence in authorities handling any pandemic.
