It's a good start, but I think it needs to address an equally fundamental part of the crisis. A moral crisis.

People borrow money when they know they can't pay it back. That is immoral. People refinance with no intention of paying their mortgage. That is immoral. Our schools are wallowing in money, much more per capita that is 'necessary' yet DC, with over $13,000 per student being spent, produces a 33% reading/math proficiency. Parents are not teaching their own children, and teachers are not held accountable. That is immoral. People waste money on trinkets, luxuries, entertainment, and savings is ridiculously low, with people counting on government to bail them out. That is immoral.

Government is no longer the main problem, it's also a symptom. A symptom of more and more people who are, at their core, lazy greedy and immoral, and therefore elects politicians who will promise whatever, go with the flow, and not stand up for the Constitution, and limited government.

Bears constant, drumbeat repeating.
