Negatron,

Did you read the book? Are you calling the author a “young conservative”? Do you know anything about him? The piece is based on the book. Read the book, then point out errors in the piece/book.

“Numerically-speaking, heâ€™s absolutely correct that a lot of dual-income families would fare better if one – or both – quit working….[w]hile entitlements were developed ostensibly to help those truly struggling – offering a hand-up, so to speak – these programs have devolved to the point that they discourage responsibility, accountability, and work.”

Lame, lame, lame. No examples, no numbers, no substance, this is just a waste of space. It does illustrate the vapidity of “young conservatives,” though.

I agree with Jess. As Americans and simply human beings, there will always be competition in the work force, just like every other aspect of our lives. The govenment knows this and will begin to heavily encourage people to work and save if they do not and depend on the government moeny to cover thire retirement funds. We need to show that we are better than sitting around all day waiting for money in years to come to pay for bread and tiolet paper. People need to learn life leasons in earning and spending and that will not be achieved on dependency. The author of the article is correct in saying that the book will become a bestseller- because it is a different, fresh idea. However, he is also riht that it will change nothing, as it shouldn’t. People need to work, not sit. Where would we be today if ten years ago, or five, or even two years ago mass populations became unemployed to wait for govenmetn retirements. Our society would be lost.

I just don’t see why it’s so hard to work for money and earn it the proper way. There is no excuse for laziness and the money spent on sending checks to someone who could have saved the money before or just simply worked could have been sent to save someone else’s life for research on diseases or incredibly high medical expenses or whatever. Point being that the government shouldn’t just give handouts to people who are capable of earning money at the present time.

This guy is on to something. Notice how Obama and McCain never talk about ending federal programs – to the contrary – it is all about giving more money and programs to the people to buy their votes.

Of course, the reality will be that our national debt will be so huge by the time we retire – our dollars will not buy anything of value. You know the inflation story in Germany after they tried their take on world dominance- one guy had to fill up a wheel barrow with money to go down the street to carry all the money it took to buy his necessities. He realized things had gone from bad to worse when someone stole his wheelbarrow and left all the paper money behind.
