As a Gen-X attorney, the problem with the fed and CA legislatures are that too many of them are liberal, baby-boomer attorneys who can’t balance their own check book, let alone the peoples’ checkbook. What we need are CPAs in Congress!
More significant, this has always been identified as a problem with democracy . . . pass the fiscal pain down to the next generation. We are literally spending ourselves into oblivion–whether it is social security, medicare, prescription drugs, calls for a national healthcare system, education, or infrastructure and social spending. The war, you ask? A drop in the bucket. That is why I laugh at calls for a national healthcare plan . . . at this rate, it will last a few years and then will plumet into insolvency like the other programs.
I’d vote for a dictatorship of bean-counting CPAs over both parties. They have mortgaged the future for generations to come. We now have a subprime government.
