It is like self canibalization.

Left wing it is, socialist (in the Misesian sense) it is.
Under Bush it was a bit less socialist and not so left wing.
But the "No Child left behind" is and was a socialist plan.

Pro market people (there is no "big market" or "small market" only 
"market") are and were against the bailout, the FED (and other central 
banks) meddling with interest rates and the money.

What you see now is the left (and a part of the right big spender) to do 
corporate welfare as they were used to do people welfare.

I agree, if you are in the third that go down and I'm in the third that 
stay up.

This is because the welfare state need to be scrapped off.
You take out the welfare state and parasites will not be able to afford 
children and only productive people will be able to afford them and will 
them.

But, also many of these countries (like Saudi Arabia) have a falling 
fertility, because too much breeding have doubled the population, where 
the oil revenues are the same. So income was halved. For example, in the 
'70, the personal income in Saudi Arabia where a bit less than Italy and 
now it is about half of Italy.
When the oil revenues will start to fall, their fertility will fall 
again under replacement as the land will not be able to sustain the 
current number of inhabitants.

Money and free time will not work alone and if they are given as a gift 
from the government (Saudi Arabia show this).
