More and more I find I am confronted by people with these values in the news and in day-to-day life:
Value 1: “I want the United States to get the budget in line with what it can afford”
Value 2: “Don’t cut this program because that would negatively impact me!”
Value 3: “Don’t cut that program because that would negatively impact people I don’t know!”
I spit on these people; these inconsistent, foolish and selfish people.
Value 1 requires sacrifice; budgets need to shrink so that the majority may survive. People act ready to accept that until it actually means that the budget cut impacts them. Suddenly some cherished program must be given up. At this point peoples true colors appear and they begin screaming about values 2 and 3. These people need to grow up, understand the times require sacrifice, and get out of the way.
