Want to see a future America where social programs, spending and rampant liberalism rule the day? Look no further than California. California is on the precipice of a $40 billion budget shortfall this year. Governor Schwarzenegger wants to lay off over 20,000 government workers. California imports more oil than any other state. Taxed to the heavens, businesses and citizens are leaving California in droves, while illegal aliens swarm the state.

Meanwhile California is hamstringed with liberalism. Whether it’s unions that keep California from demanding results from workers, or environmentalists that keep California from using it’s abundant natural resources, or civil rights groups that prevent California from dealing effectively with illegal aliens, California is doomed! Their only answer to ANYTHING is to spend more money on bullshit (money which they don’t have, and won’t have because of all the problems I laid about above).

Forget earthquakes, global warming, or nuclear missile strikes from North Korea… what will truly destroy California are a combination of outrageous spending alongside pandering to pansy special interest groups. Argue with the Beefboy if you must (and lose), but look at the bottom line, and the underlying reasons for California’s problems, and there is only one conclusion. California is a blueprint for FAILURE.

Unfortunately, our last President, our new President, and the majority members of Congress are taking that blueprint and applying it to the United States. The Beefboy shouldn’t have to tell you what path the United States government has pursued since late last year.

Spending is not just through the roof, it’s through the atmosphere and headed to Mars! Under the guise of “Saving The Planet” (an even more arrogant and futile endeavor than the “War on Poverty” or the “War on Drugs”), our leaders are passing legislation to make energy more scarce and more expensive for everyone, despite the fact that we have abundant resources of our own, that could make energy cleaner and cheaper than ever before. Finally, we are overly concerned with payoffs and back-scratching special interest groups that are designed to either expand the power of liberal organs or pass vanity legislation to appease fraction groups. All of this will be paid for by either monetizing the debt (see the Beefboy’s article on that dangerous practice) or by taxing everyone until their wallets bleed!

And yes, that means YOU will be taxed in every conceivable way. If you think because you’re poor that you’re getting off without a hitch, hold on to your wallet while I detail what’s going to happen. Whether it’s Cap and Trade which will invisibly raise your energy bills by $3000 a year, or taxes on sugar in your soft drinks, cigarette taxes, food taxes for too much salt, taxes on fuel emissions for your car, internet usage taxes, fat taxes, sales taxes, health care taxes, death taxes or income taxes, every man, woman, child and pet will pay, and pay dearly, for this socialist utopia based on the failed experiment that is currently happening in California.

If you’re looking forward to a future America that looks like Mad Max, then by all means, let’s stay on the path that California has laid out for us. After all, the Beefboy is ready for Thunderdome… are you?

Dig it!
