Libertas, I agree with your proposed action and the realization as to why we can't expect any such thing.
I would sell my soul to buy a spine for the r's, so that my kids wouldn't grow up in such a broken country.
Yeah, it's one of those "If "If's" and "But's" were "Candy" & "Nuts", everyday would be Christmas" things...
When the language has been co-opted by statists and a non-cut is demonized as a draconian cut, you've lost the game.
When people are not held accountable for their actions (many bordering on treason), you've lost the game.
When a plan that is flawed in it's growth assumptions (as MNHawk points out) and this is pointed to as severe austerity that cannot be allowed to stand, you've lost the game.
When people are in denial about the governments spending addiction, you've lost the game.
When the Fed/Treas Neo-Keynesian asshats can print currency non-stop and with the help of fellow statists game the system and people believe there is no inflation and that monetization is fricken swell and the good times can roll forever, you've lost the game.
I know I am belaboring a theme here, but too few (if any) outside our circle know or care.
This game is over. A new game is about to begin.
The new game may not smell good, sound good or look good, but it cannot be postponed, it cannot be avoided, it cannot be escaped.
