I think someone at the NY Times is finally getting it at least a little. This is the best part of the whole thing...
"The United States will probably not face the same kind of crisis as Greece, for all sorts of reasons. But the basic problem is the same. Both countries have a bigger government than they’re paying for. And politicians, spendthrift as some may be, are not the main source of the problem.
We, the people, are.
We have not figured out the kind of government we want. We’re in favor of Medicare, Social Security, good schools, wide highways, a strong military — and low taxes. Dealing with this disconnect will be the central economic issue of the next decade, in Europe, Japan and this country."
We need to look deep into our soul and figure out which direction we want to go. Do we want all out socialism, or do we want freedom and the responsibility that goes with it?
Let me know your thoughts.
