When will we stop participating in a system which is doomed to fail? A cycle where people who work are enslaved to support people who vote for entitlements for themselves is insanity. Keep voting for the lesser of two evils: until you collapse or join the entitlement class. I wonder how the entitlement class will fare once the system collapses?

$3.9T budget busts spending limits
President Obama on Tuesday released a $3.9 trillion election-year budget blueprint that would bust the bipartisan budget ceiling agreed to in December with $56 billion in new stimulus spending.
Obama’s 2015 budget includes $302 billion in infrastructure spending and a series of tax breaks for lower-income workers, as deficit reduction takes a back seat to jobs initiatives Democrats hope will be popular with voters.
The president would pay for the new spending by raising taxes on corporations and wealthy individuals.
