Why we are so screwed: The U.S. Economy and Medical Entitlements...

This is the U.S. Economy

This is the iceberg

• Debt is the issue facing us...
• Medicare is unsustainable in its current form.  
• Medicare reforms are not being adopted...meaning if they are adopted later the fiscal shock and impact of those changes will only be worse.  
• The Bush-Rove Medicare Prescription Drug Expansion is not as bad ask originally projected, but it is still running 60 billion dollars a year (and that will only go up as more baby boomers go into retirement).  
• The Obama Administration budget is not addressing the underlying problems.
• A memo shows the Obama administration knew in 2008 how bad the economy was and continued on the current path anyway.
• Where are the jobs?
• We got nothing from the stimulus other than debt.
• Obamacare is making all of this far worse. 
• Geithner admits the Dems have no solutions...

I am waiting for the GOP candidates to lay out why the Paul Ryan budget is necessary.  They seem afraid to say it.  I doubt the collision can be avoided, but I would like to think of these budget reforms as the Carpathia.  The Ryan budget is not a radical solution, it is a minimal solution.  Things truly are that bad.
