The scenario, you are receiving entitlement payments from the Federal or State government, they notify you that coming in 90 days your benefits will be reduced by 25%. At first this does not sink in, but to bring the message home, another notification shows up in the form of a certified letter from your local entitlement office;  they are notifying you of a cut in services,no more free bus rides, no more food stamps, no more free doctors visits, no more drug reimbursements.  Like a zebra culled from the heard by the mighty lion, you are shocked, this can't be true, it must be some kind of a joke. A few days later reality sets in, you are now angry, your neighbors are angry. YOU ARE NOW BETWEEN A ROCK AND A HARD PLACE. You see, the chickens have come home to roost, the governments, from the local to the federal have run out of money. If the cuts aren't made immediately, your free lunch will be over in short order. The question you have to ask yourself? Is it better to accept less or none at all. It is your choice and your decision. You have come to the proverbial fork in the road. Will you take it or not. If you don't take it, what is your alternative. Will you go on a rampage, will you protest, will you do nothing?

Over time the money machine was working at full speed, greased by the wheels of the progressive enablers. You, the parasitic taxeater became their fodder. They really did not want to help you, they only wanted to help themselves. They affectively shammed you into the position you are now in; your are at the end of the line, nowhere to turn and have no resources to be called upon to lift yourself out of this self inflicted morass.
 
THE ROCK AND THE HARD PLACE.                                                 YOU HAVE REACHED THE END OF THE LINE

Don't feel alone, you have company. All government agencies are in the same position. The money machine has developed a case of rust. Foreign material has entered the gears; the grease has become too expensive leading to a shortage of output. Instead of producing those wonderful entitlement checks, month after month, you now will receive only two every quarter, eight for the year. This is no laughing matter and it is time you faced reality. To put this into a perspective you can understand, the United States has been hit with a BUDGET BUSTER BOMBSHELL. What? Correct, the taxpayer has gone on strike, all across this great land they decided a cure was needed for the SICKNESS afflicting the BIG GOVERNMENT BUREAUCRACY. No more heroin for BIG GOV. It is now cold turkey time, the Gov is now on the wagon. And you must face the facts, no more fillet mignon, tube steaks are your new treat. Alcoholic beverages are out, water is in. Let's face it, the good times can't last for ever, you had a good roll for past two score and six years ago.  It will be a pleasure to watch you cast your anger at your entitlers, that alone will be worth the price of admission.  And one other minor detail, THIS IS NO JOKE.
