First you have to get over the horrific thought of someone having to depend on themselves. There are safety nets out there that are meant to keep you from starving to death while you get back on your feet. It shouldn't become a lifelong dependency on the Govt. (Taxpayers) to keep you living the lifestyle you have become accustomed to. Especially if you have acquired that lifestyle through borrowing over your head. I have always been a staunch opponent of term limits but I have "flip flopped" on that stance. ( I have only flipped because to flop would be to go back to my original stance after taking up a new one). Danzig is right on. The Public Servants have become Public Masters answering to no one.
