This is a large issue of our current national political situation. How we balance reward and lack thereof is going to be interesting to see. I agree with your views here, but unsurprisingly see them from the other side. Government should not rush in to mitigate the consequences of poor personal choices, except perhaps for the children of those poor decision-makers. However, your statement that it "is going to be interesting to see" implies that you are so far satisfied with the bad-decision/consequence-matrix and are waiting to see how a Dem-controlled gov't will handle it. I would be far more interested in seeing the poor political decisions of the past seven years punished by more than a loss of power by the GOP. The GWB Admin has thus far skated free of the consequences for revealing a CIA agent's ID, ginning up exaggerated rationales for a preemptive war, improperly politicizing the DoJ, torturing detainees, failing to account for 60% of the Pentagon's expenditures, renditions, etc, etc, etc. Where do those poor decisions rate on your consequence scale?
