The taxpayers of this country are no better. It will take radical change in government spending to head off this crisis. The problem is about who will be getting the haircut. In order for this country to survive we will have to get used to doing better with less. I just don't see the average American up to the challange.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26061284.post-91596248530075785622011-08-03T12:40:37.307-05:002011-08-03T12:40:37.307-05:00Bill, good point re: incrementalism, it works ever...Bill, good point re: incrementalism, it works every time.<br />And you are right the Republicans et.al. think they can reverse 40-50 years worth of incrementaiism with on e election or one initiative.

Conservatives who think it can all be reversed and replaced in one fell swoop via the vehicle of a dept limit extention are fantasizing. The #1, #2, and #3 priorities must be to replace Obama, hold the House, and control the Senate starting in January 2013. Then something concrete can be done.Billnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26061284.post-60549742750160879212011-08-02T11:38:33.639-05:002011-08-02T11:38:33.639-05:00Reid, if tea-party guys like Rubio are joined in 2...Reid, if tea-party guys like Rubio are joined in 2012 by others, perhaps some actual useful things can get done. A term limits bill, a flat tax, and a balanced budget amendment would keep me from whining about government for at least a couple of years.Edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01235046826421680852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26061284.post-9658181990803407622011-08-02T10:24:23.796-05:002011-08-02T10:24:23.796-05:00Crisis Averted?

It was a sacrifice made to one's country. They would all be aghast at the greed and averice shown daily by their successors!Reidnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26061284.post-14150355877220042732011-08-01T10:56:04.814-05:002011-08-01T10:56:04.814-05:00Right you are, Ed.
