USA in precarious position/Welfare state gone mad?

USA in precarious position/Welfare state gone mad?

By iansinc61 | My Travels | 13 Jan 2021


I am not American but most of the world follows what happens there as the USA is still the biggest economy in the world.

The US election is more divisive than Brexit ever was in the UK and that was not fun.

I am not a Trump supporter but like many people in the US most working class people are sceptical of career politicians who have never worked in the real world. 

The majority (but not all) seem to be in it for the money and not to serve the people who elected them and that goes for most parties. 

Labour in the UK are supposed to represent the WORKING class (as are the Democrats in US as far as I am aware). However in Britain Labour are supposed to be for the less fortunate in society and although I have sympathy for the less fortunate I do not agree with a lot of what the welfare state stands for.

Indeed there are homes where one person works and the other claims disability benefits while minding children at home. There are even situations where partners with children pretend they are not together and let one of the homes while they co habit.

I grew up in a WORKING class home with Mum and Dad and 2 brothers and we lived in a 2 bedroom house where i slept in a double bed with one brother and my other brother slept in a single bed in my Mum and Dads bedroom.

Skip forward a few decades and today parents and single parents with no one working in the household EXPECT to be provided with a house with enough bedrooms for each child they have. The welfare state is also expected to feed those families and it is actually better for many of these people not to work as they would not never earn as much as they claim.

If you know how to work the system you can claim Disability benefits for ailments that would never have received help years ago (obesity and drug/alcohol addicition attract benefits among other things) and unfortunately I have heard stories of parents encouraging children to misbehave in school so they can be diagnosed with ADHD for benefits. (giving children with genuine ADHD a bad press).

With all this burden on the working classes we now have a pandemic where the workers actually need state help now and money is being printed wholesale to do this. I completely agree with this help but at the end of this there will be a day of reckoning economically. The perfect storm is therefore brewing.

Americans under a Democratic Administration are going to continue this trend but they are going to open borders and sell the economy to China allowing jobs to be outsourced and cheap imports to undercut US products. Many liberties such as freedom of speech are under attack while the left wing BLM agenda (which is basically an agenda of anything should be allowed and you can do what you want rather than an avenue to eradicate racism) continues to rule society.

High Tech companies are happy with this as millionaires will dominate and the masses will be controlled more and more by the minority while the very small minority will control more and more of the overall wealth of the world. 

So freedom conscious people are starting to rise up in USA and civil war cannot be ruled out.

They keep saying there is no evidence that election fraud was committed but I am not too sure about that. Postal voting is a prime target for fraud and any evidence that is posted on social media is ignored by mainstream media who support this leftist agenda. The BBC in the UK are a prime example of left wing bias.
