Default Conundrum


The definition of the word conundrum is "something that is puzzling or
confusing."


Here are six conundrums of socialism in the United States of America:


1. America is capitalist and greedy - yet half of the
population is subsidized.


2. Half of the population is subsidized - yet they think they
are victims.


3. They think they are victims - yet their representatives run
the government.


4. Their representatives run the government - yet the poor keep
getting poorer.


5. The poor keep getting poorer - yet they have things that
people in other
countries only dream about.


6. They have things that people in other countries only dream
about -
yet they want America to be more like those other countries.



Think about it! That, my friends, pretty much sums up the USA in the
21st century. Makes you wonder who is doing the math.


These three, short sentences tell you a lot about the direction of our
current government and cultural environment:


1. We are advised to NOT judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a
few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the
actions of a few lunatics.



Funny how that works… Here's another one worth considering...



2. Seems we constantly hear about how Social Security is going
to run out of money. How come we never hear about welfare or food stamps
running out of money? What's interesting is the first group "worked for"
their money, but the second didn't.



Think about it.... and last but not least,



3. Why are we cutting benefits for our veterans, no pay raises
for our military and cutting our army to a level lower than before WWII,
but we are not stopping the payments or benefits to illegal aliens.



Am I the only one missing something?
