I think you are probably right. I don't think it's about the economics...at least not entirely. I just can't envision the common will necessary to pull it off.

I hope things change...or that I'm wrong. It's just very difficult for me to see enough agreement to a common goal in Washington to pull it off...regardless of where one thinks the blame lies.

Perhaps saddest of all might be that the only time we seem to be even close to being on the same page is when there is a war involved. That's a sad state of affairs.
