Belief in the TOOTH FAIRY.... (Without a strong STRUCTURAL IMPEDIMENT to deficit spending our deficit spending will be EVER LASTING.) As I have told you before, Tim... you can give up on trying to sell me that some new 'fearless leader' is going to come along and save us all from the big bad deficit wolf because he is so noble and pure and all that guff. I've been around a long time and I don't buy it any more. I have learned the lessons from actual history... (and Lucy has pulled that football away from Charlie Brown far too many times for me to ever fall for the empty rhetoric and promises again.) You can hope for some magical new 'fearless leader' to come along and save us all from ourselves and from the system we have allowed to be built but I AIN'T BUYING IT. I will put my hope in laws and carefully crafted structures (just as our founding fathers who trusted no King did when they made the deliberate choice to DIVIDE POLITICAL POWER three ways through their design of a triparte government). I, like them, will NOT put my faith in the fallibility of men, but rather in the structure of our Constitution.
