"A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves money from the public treasure. From that moment on the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most money from the public treasury, with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy followed by a dictatorship". Remember this from Alexander Tyler? This nation as designed by our forefathers is over. Bubba put it in warp speed & GW is following like a good elite.

I agree, though I do think that things could be solved if we had a consensus solution, and that does not include more money. The solution is information. The ignorant masses need to be wakened from their sleep.
