In honor of Andrea’s passing, I have asked my congressman to propose the adoption of this song as the U.S. national anthem. True, Miss True wrote the number as an autobiographical reflection on her days as a porn-movie actress but, consciously or not, it accurately distills the essence of American governmental philosophy in the early 21st century: excess even unto oblivion.
Steyn ping.
More depressing: Steyn points out that Porn movies, Disco culture from the 1970s and US government policy have all melded together and have become indistinguishable. This is probably not what the Founding Fathers were hoping for.

As long as interest rates stay right where they are, there’s no great pressure on Washington to change business as usual. If the bond markets decide they can no longer live on what they collect today, higher interest rates will jolt Washington into action. Short of that, things will remain as they are now.

At that point (with $3.6 trillion Federal Budgets, we're 90% of the way there already), the Federal Government spends a dollar in the time it takes light to travel a mile-and-a-half.
Only politicians treat make-believe budgeting as the real thing. And somehow, spending always grows. There is never a real cut and won’t be one as long as I’m alive!
Ahhhh......the 70s......bell bottom pants.....those tall shoes.....silk shirts......disco.....BJ and The Bear.....Barry Manilow.....Jimmy Carter.....how did I manage to live through that......make the bad memories go away.....
Which means, to meaningfully balance our budget, we have to admit to ourselves that government is twice the size it needs to be. Twice.
The existential threat we face is the fact that there are no politicians who are ready to face this fact and act on it. None at all.
And the reason for that is the fact that the voting public is unable to wrap their minds around it. Most of us here at FR can, but until Uncle Harry and the neighbors up and down the street start to get it, we've got no chance.
Get your families ready for hard times. Work and pray.
BUMP!
BUMP!
Or else they do get it, but they buy Obama's line that it's the greedy rich Wall Street people who have caused it and are blocking a return to fiscal solvency.
LOL I’m listening to Steve Miller right now. What the heck is a Pompatus of Love??
What’s the cornerstone of Progressive Gov’t? What, after all, allows the Federal Gov’t to run its massive, long-term deficits and conduct its various social engineering schemes?
Its the Federal Reserve. Until Republicans choose to do something about that (and they won’t), they will have to be content to sit on the sidelines and continue to whine.
