The mood in Britain is unlike anything I have experienced. The electorate is enraged by the conduct of its representatives. Some members of parliament daren't show their face, a former Labour foreign secretary has been booed by a television audience, and a Conservative member has had a brick heaved through her office window. It is all about expenses, fraudulent claims, tax evasion, making private fortunes by looting the public purse. Worse still, much of it has been legitimate, within what MPs are calling "the system," and that is what is provoking the revulsion and rage. The UK could take a lesson from Obama's playbook and send the old folks $250 each while simultaneously promising all the kids a free college education. That might enable the pillaging to continue until the Ponzi suddenly collapses.
