I liked it because of the wealth of objective facts and figures

Problem is, most people who vote, won't understand it, or wont even read it, or won't care. The biggest problem is that, of the people doing the voting, half of them don't pay taxes, so, to them, they remain "unaffected".

Sorry to say it, but, as a whole, the country has been dumbed-down, and, the only lesson that would teach the people the hard lessons of the economy, is to reach a Greek-style meltdown, where, perhaps then, the people will realize that, socialism and big spending government, is just never going to work. In fact, perhaps then, there could be proposed an amendment to limit the size of government, and to limit government spending to military and law-enforcement and infrastructure, while removing all social spending, including education at the federal level. Barring the hard lessons, we are still doomed.

Yes! The problem is the Obama vote base has three solid constituencies; socialists, parasites, and the clueless.
