As for the OP, it starts with a giant bucket of poison for the well. Then an article is provided which claims we are not far from seeing riots in the streets. And if we accept the possibility of riots in the streets, the false premise of the OP is that we are fools for thinking so.
Well, I still remember the last time we had riots in the streets and our cities were burning. It is well within the realm of possibility that those who are heavily dependent on government largesse will take to the streets again in the near future. Once you give someone a government tit to suck on, and spend decades being a crowd pleaser making that tit bigger and bigger, then yeah, when the tit runs dry there will be hell to pay.
Christ, just look how morally indignant people get when it is suggested we raise the Social Security and Medicare eligibility ages to 70! The morality which stated we needed a safety net for seniors has been corrupted to the point that working longer because we are living longer is viewed as immoral!
We have gone from SS being a safety net to SS being a paycheck.
We see many other examples of politicians holding onto power by creating massively unhealthy dependencies.
Now we have a $16 trillion shit sandwich, and everyone has to take a bite. Those who have been spoiled will throw bombs over it.
You make too much sense. I may start liking you again.
