How can a guy with two homes one in the sprawling center of Virginia near Washington Dc talk about the coming bankruptcy and evils of the welfare state. Well a former Reagan administrator a divisor and a pencil geek named Peter Ferrara wrote a book called "Americas Ticking Bankruptcy Bomb " and I just can't believe how clueless these guys are who work for these think tanks. This dickhead according to his bio in this book is a director of policy for the Carelston Center for public policy and a senior fellow for entitlement and budget policy with the heartland institute. What this actually means is he takes it up the ass from these rich people who donate their tax avoidance to these thinks tanks.
This clueless jerk just doesn't get it that there is a welfare state because of policies such as his that advocate free market principles that do t pay to play fucking golf for a living wage. This book is complete right wing anti government bullshit. It is easier for men like Mr Ferrara to attack spending on welfare than spending protecting big business that does nothing but provide few jobs for people over here and many more jobs to people overseas. When you advocate practices keeping wages low and opportunities limited you encourage age a cycle of poverty that government has to serve and spend so business people can continue earring money and working the golf courses. This guy doesn't have a clue to the real affects and causes of poverty in America. Like most conservatives this author again has to look at illegitimacy rates as some prof of decay in society and men like him really want to go back to the days where women were forced to stay grounded as property.
Marriage is the most important issue in terns of economics for these conservatives like Peter Ferrara as they feel those women unable or unwilling to stick with the father as some how deserving of the likely poverty they will see. Of course they blame government for this as they take over the roles of the failure fathers as somehow the government is the cause for actually helping families in need and this somehow makes the nannies fathers slackers. His chapter on failed states attacks the usual states that have high inequality for its role of attracting wealth and the rich from all corners of the globe and the costs to make these areas attractive for them to make this move. Perhaps he should concentrate on the free market principles that encourages private development who will choose to be around other developments and whose globalization movement of the economy has done more to increase costs to government. Jerks like Peter Ferrara think the poor have it made these days because there is more food than ever before never mind that it is mostly junk stuff that is making people more sick and obese. Somehow they think everything is fine and government shouldn't help folks because no one is living in cardboard boxes and everyone has access to electricity. This is a horrible writer likely funded by those same anti-tax less government think tanks whose main goal is to weaken unions and take benefits away from the poor.it is people like this writer while America has such a lower tax rates and lifestyle compared to the progressive European countries that rank way higher on all sorts of listings in country comparisons from health to happiness.
