David Brooks-The Do-Nothing Conspiracy

What a bunch of hogwash! If lumping the "entitlement" programs into one big problem then we should have more of that kind of problem. Instead of running up the cost of preemptive wars on a credit card, instead of shitting on our environment to pad the pockets of those whose greed far exceeds any compassion for saving it, instead of padding the pockets of pharmaceutical companies at the expense of the sick and aged, instead of calling a special session of congress to impose the neo-conservative will on a family matter, then lets have more of the problem of entitlements. If more polarization is the result then fine, bring this government to it's knees and the economy along with it. The people WILL survive.
