Sure, but this time it's not different. The play has always and forever will be to try and force most of the population into a peasant caste be removing education and welfare, as well as setting up nice circular infighting.

It will inevitably end up as it always does. Or we'll all die horribly. You know, either way.

Who is trying to remove education and welfare and how are they accomplishing it? I have high doubts people actually want those things removed, especially in a country as great as the US.
Conservative evangelicals want to remove public schooling and move everyone to homeschooling as much as possible.

That sort of society fits their ideological and social goals in more ways then one.

Did you not see them firing thousands of people from the department of education and trying to fully close it (at the federal level)? They put Linda (*@&#$ McMahon (yes, from WWE wrestling) in charge of it..
> be removing education and welfare

Both of these are historical anomalies; the middle class developed prior to their ever having been implemented.
