If we don’t start the roll-back all the entitlements it will not matter much after we go bankrupt. And, no, imo, I don’t ’think we’ll be able to roll-back entitlements.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12337285145893256026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196554259323465442.post-22841691329706928222010-06-02T10:41:55.593-07:002010-06-02T10:41:55.593-07:00Craig makes a good point -- this oil spill should ...Craig makes a good point -- this oil spill should convince everybody that government cannot solve all the problems that we encounter in life. Government cannot stop the leak and it cannot restore the Gulf Coast to it's prior condition. Obama digs himself deeper every time he talks about government's role in a "solution". There isn't one. Government needs to stay out of the way.<br /><br />Hopefully election results in the fall will lead to getting the government out of places where it cannot accomplish it's objectives.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17859903760678758127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196554259323465442.post-14496849878877109772010-06-01T19:52:59.814-07:002010-06-01T19:52:59.814-07:00I don't see "smug".
