Where Politics And Video Games Collide

Well i never been much of a supporter of Ron Paul, i'm often not sure what to think, and While i haven't looked enough into these issues to be sure, i think Ron Paul might be right about quite a few things... mainly that something may need to change and it needs to be done now

Short version, if we don't make some pretty drastic changes now the country will be in pretty deep shit by the time our children and grandchildren come on to the scene... We are spending more money then we are making and some of the biggests sources of such trouble comes from many of the programs that Ron Paul wants to put an end to, along with increased taxes... if i recall, no one is actually denying what is said in that article and there is no reason to think it won't happen; but ofcourse cutting down on those programs and increasing taxes are very unpopular stances and most politicans are unwilling to touch such issues because it tends to be political suicide (the average voter can only think of themselves and tomarrow, not problems that their children and grandchildren will face in about 20-30 years from now)... but it does sound like what must be done

I'm not sure if we need to get rid of the programs outright, afterall the programs do a lot of good for those that NEED it, but from how it sounds in that article, something definatly needs to change about those programs... and i don't think cutting down on military spending alone (ending the war) alone will be enough; something may need to be done about those more helpful programs... their maybe more poeple abusing it then their are those who need it and that means a lot of the money for those programs may just be going to waste
