Because nearly half the people are on the dole in this country, I am not surprised to see the growing uproar about entitlement reform. Yet is must be done.

The Romney-Ryan ticket is the one campaign that promises results, however painful or unpopular, for this country. Ryan had the integrity, the character, to offer a Roadmap to prosperity, one in which Americans live off their skills and clout instead of living off the state.
Cartoonists, including Tom Toles, make light of the painful cuts to come, but the cuts are inevitable — there is no more money left.
