It sure does seem that we are now a hollow country that elects leaders who promise us all the good things without any of the sacrifice that is required. You only have to look at our budget and trade deficits to see that. I don't see it getting any better. Even if Democrats are elected, they don't have the balls to do what Friedman suggests. If they didn't have the balls to refuse to fund the Iraq war to force Bush to withdraw, then they certainly won't have the balls to increase gas taxes, which will increase the cost of gas for poor Americans from 12% of their take home pay to 16% of their take home pay. It's a tough sacrifice to ask for.
