The Most Predictable Crisis in History Just Got Worse
The “throw the bums out” mentality is strong these days. The problem is finding anyone better to replace them. If history is any guide, the House of Representatives will change hands again in next year’s election. Will the next Congress balance the budget? Will it rein in a gargantuan military budget that is more than twice the size of Russia’s and China’s combined? Will it make any attempt to reform Social Security to at least postpone the inevitable insolvency currently projected by 2034? Or will they just point their fingers at the other guys and then carry on as usual? To answer those questions, I’ll pass the baton to James Hickman.
