“It took us over 100 years to become this progressive and nanny-dependent as a society. It took over 100 years for the citizen to beg the government to do as much as it does for the citizen, and for the government to oblige said citizen. It will not be undone in 100 minutes.”

And when we hit the wall, the resulting involuntary budget cuts will make Ron Paul look like a commie
