IN a time of record deficits it seems everyone found time to include their pork inbetween railing on deficit spending and worring out future generations.
I guess I question your assertation of “good faith”. It seems like the same old BS, just a different suit shoveling it.
[quote=davelj] Again, I’m no fan of the current Officialdom. But at least I can sympathize with the bind they’re in (granted, partly of their own making) – they’re damned if they do, damned if they don’t. Not an easy place to be.[/quote]
Id be more sympathetic if they were more honest.
“I realize this is screwing the young and poorer segments of our population, but I really feel that not bailing out the irresponsible and reckless who have overspent would be worse for our country, and those groups we are hurting, than doing nothing at all.”
Atleast then I could believe the words coming out of their mouths, even if I didnt like them.

To your first issue: It’s called politics, man. You know, legislative democracy and all. That’s how it works. It ain’t pretty.
To your second issue: Agreed. People are more amenable to your fucking them if you explain to them why you’re fucking them. If they can see that at least you’re being honest with them, it’s easier to take.
