betrayal?
who was betrayed beside conservatives?
No one presently in office is prepared to deal with the underlying fiscal problem.
Which is, if you spend twice what you take in, it means your government is twice the size you are willing to pay for.
No fiscal plan that doesn't include a radical re-thinking of the scope and reach of government is a fiscal plan that does nothing at all except guarantee that the ship hits the iceberg. 20 knots, or 19.9 knots isn't worth arguing about.
