These guys are simply not serious about dealing with this because their affinity and reliance on government is so deep – it’s a part of their political machinery, it’s a part of their political ideology – that they can’t fathom a day and time when the government’s going to have to readjust to the reality that we cannot continue to spend money we do not have. It’s as simple as that. You cannot continue to spend money you don’t have and hope to survive.”
