What's going to happen when all the old dudes hit the streets in a few years knowing they are $44 trillion away from the retirement money they worked their lives for?
The biggest failure of the neocons is that they failed to live up to the promise required of all leaders of this country. <font color=blue>We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.</font>
The General Welfare, not the individual whims of selfish people, Justice, not quid-pro-quo rulings trading favors in religion and politics for multimillion dollar book deals. Domestic Tranquility, not wedge issues and Dixie Chicking slander, and wink/nudge new Pearl Harbors of terror. The Blessings of Liberty, not only to neocons, but to all of us and even more important to our posterity. This is their biggest failing of all. In an effort to grab as much individual advantage as possible they have sqandered the future of our posterity.
In summary they are failing their core duty, to create a more perfect union.
