New Pat Buchanan essay ! " Is the GOP headed for the Boneyard?"

[Greg in LA]

Ilbegone, that's what I've been thinking about also.

What happens when the welfare checks are gone.
The cities are going to explode.

Think about it, we're 16 trillion in debt now, another trillion each year in debt with nothing but Obama to stop it. It's full steam ahead and in 2016 the national debt will be at least 20 trillion.

It's easy for me to see the debt crisis coming and the flow of government aid stopping. When the government checks stop arriving I can see those people burning everything in sight.

Take a look at this short film clip of what is happening in Greece.

These are people rioting over forced government austerity measures. In other words people in government jobs are getting laid off and government checks are not being sent. Their government is broke and there is nothing they can do for them ( in terms of a check from the government).

What do many of the Greek people do in this situation?

They riot.

It's sad but if similar austerity measures happen here, the same thing is going to happen, but it might be more violent.
