Like the lady who nearly fainted when she assumed President Obama was going to pay for her gas and mortgage, students in Michigan await their free education credits, chanting “No Cuts. No Fees. Education Should Be Free!”

If you’re wondering why the United States is in this economic and financial mess, you needn’t  look any further:

It only takes a generation or two to completely screw up a free nation. Somewhere along the way these Generation Z’ers got mixed up – likely because their NEA managed public school taught them that dependency and wealth redistribution would be the solution to end all problems.

What they fail to understand is that education (as well as other services that “should be free”) involves a lot of moving parts that include teachers, administrators, janitors, construction firms, security personnel, text book authors, and a host of other people who need to get paid for their time and energy.

The momentum towards socialism in America is more prevalent now than at anytime in our history. The perception in a large part of the country is that there is a light at the end of the tunnel for those who would forcefully mandate others to collectively provide health care, food, education and housing for the less fortunate. What they don’t realize, however, is that government on all levels is so broke, the light at the end of the tunnel is about to be shut off because of a failure to pay the electric bill.
