Progressive government might be obsolete but the lefties haven't gotten the word yet.
They are still in the majority in Washington and many states; they still have the balance of power, the keys to the treasury and are still very effectively destroying the country.
It is an open question if we can return to a constitutional government or not. The trend is still in the other direction. The republicans are complicit and do not seem to have the resolve to even put up a good fight.
If Obama gets re-elected there will be no hope of turning the country from the racist based socialism he and the democrats are imposing on us.

I think its a fine idea and no method of restoring sanity should be left off the table.
They are not idiots. These people are hired and appointed by elected officials. And voters in New York are overwhelmingly liberal. Don't blame people doing their jobs for the wacko choices of the American public. Lay blame where it belongs.
Gracious benefits including, in many cases due to how overtime rules were written, six figure pensions were granted merely to secure votes. I remember mayor Lindsay negotiating and granting much of whats in place now.
