Three Irreconcilable Fiscal Majorities

Peace, prosperity, and a bubble isn't a plan. It's a wish list. Yet we find ourselves wishing once again, hoping against hope that the Jihadist threat will recede enough to bring more troops home, that the business cycle bounces back sooner rather than later, and that - maybe—"green jobs" or some other unforeseen economic fad leads to a frenzy of hiring. Because we need that perfect storm of good news—not to save ourselves, but to at least push a true fiscal crisis back a few more years, long enough for us to secure our own, individual futures.

In the meantime, as we take our mortgage interest deduction, send our child to college on a lottery scholarship, cash the social security check, and fill the Medicare-funded prescription, let's be sure to blame Washington for any looming financial disasters.

After all, it's broken.
