Excellent article. If the Republican majority is sincere in checking every regulation to see if it produces jobs, they will have to dismantle the deep layers of sclerotic restrictions in which the federal government has imprisoned this economy. There is no other remedy for “getting the economy moving again.” In the words of Pogo, “We have met the enemy, and he is us.”

Prior to this generation and a half, the basic societal premise was that people, businesses, governments, and whatever were expected to live and operate within their means.

The Pandora's box of the proverbial blank check has been unleased. When the Piper is paid, it will be ugly.

Virtually every government program involves coercion to achieve an outcome that free individuals otherwise would not choose. Otherwise, there would be no need for the program or legislation.

Succinct and well stated.

FTA:"The 2012 election will be a pivotal event for the Democratic Party. President Obama will be unable to bail out one of his last remaining support bases: the public service unions. The disparate interests that represented the party will be under great strain. Failure to uphold public pensions and wage levels may be the catalyst that ends the modern Democratic Party.

That's the money quote.

If the Congressional majority has any guts, or principles, the next budget would not include any funding for half of the cabinet level departments. (or public broadcasting)

It is tragic that so many citizens and their descendants will have to pay such a high price.

Perhaps the most shameful and embarrassing aspect of our current generational psychology is our belief in our entitled right to have it all at the expense of those who will follow us.

We bought into the liberal myths and are willing to destroy it all for 'free' healthcare and 'guaranteed' retirements that we don't have to pay for.

Moonbeam Jerry Brown gets inaugurated today in California.

He was on TV this am in a clip where he did the usual Democrap mouthings:

I inherited a mess that is NOT of my making.

What a colossal lie!!!!

Jerry Brown is the Governor who gave the public workers the right to unionize——in 1973.

Now- over 80% of all incoming money to the California government is needed to pay the pensions of Jerry’s UNION buddies- which he allowed to UNIONIZE. The remaining 20% is supposed to pay for all the rest of the cots of running the state!!

How long will he be able to make these comments stand up???
