This illustrates the true danger our nation faces in the halls of government. If we elected a man/woman along with a congress that truly cut government spending, cut off Wall Street, and slashed the number of people on entitlements they would be voted out immediately and many of the reforms would be reversed.
There are too many powerful special interest groups such as unions, the professional poor, and crony-capitalists who rely on the government teat.
Not sure how telling people their standard of living is going to rise is not cosseting them.

Telling them what they want to hear is pampering them. Had he said thing s will be difficult and everyone will do with less that would have been courage.
As for me i just want Merkels boy toy gone so its tougher for her.
Maybe things went on that were not overly evident. But frankly, I thought that Sarkozy was a disappointment. He didn’t do that much to control the budget, and he didn’t do that much to control the increasing danger of Muslims in France.
And although Barry got most of the press for the Libyan war, it was Sarkozy who led the way and pushed the hardest. I suppose he thought that by doing that he would increase French access to oil and uranium, but if so, I think he was sadly mistaken. Instead, he handed North Africa to the Islamists, civilization’s worst enemies, and southern Europe will suffer the most as a result.
Not that replacing Sarkozy with a Communist will improve matters. Frankly, things don’t look too good for France.
