Frankly, most see the FT as not being anything more than the deckchairs on the titanic, I see it as the iceberg, and what you see of the bill, and the 'ad nausem' spin, is not one iota more than what they want you to see.
Fair assessment. The FT doesn't make the government spend less or get smarter. It's one step. No more, no less.

I'm not feeling the analogy.
Here is how I see it: The FT takes the same amount of our money as the IRS. We don't have to work as hard for it. Your one and only tax form fits on a post card, and you don't have to file it if you don't want to.
That is a gain. It will not cut government spending. That is a separate fight. Fix revenues first and spending next. That's all I'm sayin'.
