The Curses of Entitlement: 30 Frightening Consequences of Government Payments
The Curses of Entitlement: 30 Frightening Consequences of Government Payments Review
The Curses of Entitlement: 30 Frightening Consequences of Government Payments Feature
The founders of our country came here, fought, sacrificed and died for independence and freedom. Now, over 200 years later, we are beginning to see how tens of millions of Americans are too dependent on the government.
Massive government bailouts, excessive spending and a world wide recession have their roots in an addiction to unchecked and wasteful programs. This tendency is an epidemic. Entitlements have spread to become a curse affecting the fundamental core for our country to function effectively.
The causes are not hard to identify, but solutions are becoming more and more difficult because the fallacies are ingrained. Within this book, you will learn how entitlements:
- Cause Dependence
- Remove Incentives
- Create Resentment
- Stop Initiative
- Deny Accountability
- Reinforce Idleness
- Inhibit Creativity
- Obstruct Competition
- Stifle Free Enterprise
- Destroy Self Reliance
- Support Irresponsible Politicians

Whose Voice?: Participatory Research and Policy Change (Intermediate Technology Publications in Participation Series)
Whose Voice?: Participatory Research and Policy Change (Intermediate Technology Publications in Participation Series) Review
Whose Voice?: Participatory Research and Policy Change (Intermediate Technology Publications in Participation Series) Feature
Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) and related participatory approaches have opened up new ways in which policy can be influenced by the realities of those who are poor, weak, marginalized, and excluded.
Based on the premise that sustainable policies require local voices to be heard, this book demonstrates the far-reaching implications of such approaches for the development sector. Its impact on the poor is potentially phenomenal.
The book is divided into three sections:
+Part 1 explores case studies in which participatory methods and approaches have been used to influence policy.
+Part 2 concentrates on Participatory Poverty Analysis (PPA), an innovative approach designed to bring local poverty and policy analysis into the policy process through the cross-cultural lens of poverty.
+Part 3 discusses key issues arising during workshops and includes chapters by several participants.
With careful and essential research and evaluation into PRA methods and practices, Whose Voice? is easily digestible with many clear, detailed case studies from around the world, and analysis of key development agencies, NGOs and organizations across the sector over the past decade.

BOOK 1
SURVIVAL MANUAL
Preface
You could find yourself alone in a remote area—possibly enemy territory—with little or no personal gear. This manual provides information and describes basic techniques that will enable you to survive and return alive should you find yourself in such a situation.
If you are a trainer, use this information as a base on which to build survival training. You know the areas to which your unit is likely to deploy, the means by which it will travel, and the territory through which it will travel. Read what this manual says about survival in those particular areas and find out all you can about those areas. Read other books on survival. Develop a survival-training program that will enable your unit members to meet any survival situation they may face. It can make the difference between life and death.
