I have thought about this quote for a considerable length of time. I have also listened to Obama and Hillary promising the government will provide literally everything to the people of this country, from a government subsidized (or a least mandated) mortgage taylored to allow them to stay in their homes, to universal healthcare they believe it is our moral obligation (and in some instances a constitutional right) to provide, to an affordable college education for everyone, and tax benefits provided only to companies and individuals who play by their version of fairness. And the people flock to them like moths to a flame. Can there be any doubt we are in the next to the last stage of this cycle.
