Here in Kentucky, Bevin is dealing with it, starting with teachers. He is getting a lot of grief and to a lot of people I know he as become the devil incarnate.
In fact, the situation here is a microcosm of why I’ve said, for decades, that we are in this ride all the way to the bottom for the simple reason that any politician that actually tries to make the hard decisions will be tarred and feathered or, at the very least, a one termer.
That is why I lay the blame for our fiscal situation squarely at the feet of the voters.
And when we hit bottom it’s gonna hurt. A lot. It will be epic when the most powerful and interdependent civilization (i.e. it’s not just the US) ever to grace this planet collapses.
You make a good point. The buck stops with the electorate.

You’re dead on point.
Unfort., those that allowed the process to begin (aka ‘they got “theirs”) will (long) be buried and forgotten.
