YOu boyz havn't gotten off the track of the orginal premise...
Now do U boyz begin to see why I am pessmistic about America...Both sides of the Political spectrum have gotten so used to sucking at the tit of the public treasury that they can't stop...they can't reverse themselves..this trend has been going on at least since the late 1970's....and instead of correcting the course both political parties just delay addressing the problem...and it keeps getting worse...Now with the election process being called into question ( 2000 election) this is where the 2 poitical factions have begun to fight with each other and the result will be that at some point the public will cry out for ORDER AT ANY COST...and it will be Hail Caesar...
