The problem Don is that we have as a society become too complacent and with the advent of split second computing and microwave cookery we just simply expect to have a beef about something and in a few minutes it all done just the way we like it. The establishment? Hah! That is another problem, there is no more establishment, the government is in total disarray with way too many factions to allow for efficient governing. Taxpayers simply fork over trillions of dollars so that people can sit around and argue, while the other portion goes off on wild military incursions. If you haven't noticed by now, nothing ever get's resolved, it's just a perpetual quagmire of problems that need to be addressed, that is at the cost of lives and tax payers backs. And look now how one of our esteemed Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee is caught in a Tax Fraud Scandal. http://americaswatchtower.com/2008/09/05/charlie-rangel-caught-in-tax-fraud-scandal/ He claimed he didn't know he was supposed to claim the income??? Moron? Idiot? Both? These are supposed to be the people we trust to run our lives? Hey! He's only one that has been exposed, who knows how many more of our esteemed royalty politicians are crooks. Government has gotten toooooooooo big and in fact sooooooo big that no one really knows what in hell is going on anymore. Let's not forget the $300 screwdrivers and $600 toilet seats that taxpayers were doling out on account of government dysfunction. I'm sure you are aware and I don't need to bring up Pork Barrel Spending and all the other Government Waste expenditures. Bottom line is that government has more money coming in than they know what to do with. Imagine running your household the way these morons run the government! You would be out in the street in a few months.
