A bit of common sense from Sequestrageddon.

  "Can you pierce the mists of time and go back all the way to the year 2007? Back then, federal spending was 40 percent lower than it is today. In a mere half-decade, has all that 40 percent gravy become so indispensable to the general welfare that not even a teensy-weensy sliver of it can be cut?

If you really believe that, then America is going to die, and a gullible citizenry willing to give this laughable charade the time of day will bear ultimate responsibility."

I agree that the ignorant, low information electorate is the problem here.  It hits me square between the eyes every time there is an election here in my home state of California, and the fools we have for voters elect like minded fools as representatives, and idiotic laws which lead direct to financial destruction.  The right to vote is far to broad spread for the Republic to survive.
