I disagree. This wasn’t a problem overnight and it’s hypocritical to decide that it came up all of a sudden.

Why do you think conservatives want smaller government? Do you really believe that big government is efficient? Where does the boondoggle start and the mismanagement end?

With respect, why do you continue to assert/imply and then reply to points and claims I did not make? I never said this problem "came up all of a sudden". I explicitly acknowledged it had been mishandled by our national leadership through several prior administrations.

It is not the existence of the problem which has changed, it is the magnitude and the American people's awareness of the problem which has changed. The reason why this issue seems to have "come up all of a sudden" is that our elite oligarchs, including President Bush, have been extremely successful in deflecting interest in it, in keeping the focus off it, and in quietly sliding through measures and changes which will have monumentally destructive effects on the fundamental structure and nature of our country and society, all the while avoiding the type of free and open public debate necessary for a sovereign nation composed of free citizens.

I have no idea where you came up with these items in the context of this discussion. Perhaps in another discussion we'll have an opportunity to address them, but they are off-point to this discussion and can only serve as a distraction.

As I said before, I wish you well.
