#3 Now read the Foxnews.com exclusive on the oversized WFP budget for Afghanistan, with the US paying 47% of their budget. It ain't gonna happen--better get prepared for massive social unrest. I just hope any stringing up at the lampposts target those really responsible, who will remain namelsess for the sake of RB, although we all know who I'm thinking of.

#4 The legislatures (at all levels of government) have simply lost all respect for the taxpayers and the money they extract from the taxpayers.

#5 there is no way to close the massive deficits without big cuts in existing government programs or stupendous tax increases.

Or hyperinflation.

Of course, we will get there by 'boiling the frog' increments.
