re: Who is to blame for this alleged disappearance of the middle class?

Social spending is out of control in the US. That is not an over statement. The citizens of this nation demand this spending. That is a fact. We also somehow believe that we can continue to do so without raising the money to do so. This is not a Right/Left issue...we all love our pork as long as it is ours...we just do not like paying for it, adn politicians have found that they can stay in power and make themselves wealthy in the process by catering to this personality flaw.

I would not at all opposed to legislation that forced politicians to finance the shite the give away. Want to build a road to nowhere? Fine...tax the people for that road....raise the money...don't borrow it from the Chinese or future generations. This is the problem and we are all to blame, left, right and center.
