Uncle Sam just ran out of money
Regarding Walt Zlotow’s Aug. 9 Fence Post letter, Uncle Sam didn’t die, Walt, he just ran out of money. To you and the others who feel that government has the money to solve everything for everybody: Well, no government in history has been able to sustain that program.
America didn’t become powerful by enabling en masse those who don’t produce, or by acquiring debt that can never be paid. Why you and those who agree with you think America could is what escapes me.
