It just may be that nearly all Americans are aware (at least at some subconscious level) that we are approaching an economic singularity (default and/or hyperinflation). Therefore, one might as well “grab all the gusto” one can and the hell with worrying about the price tag. The asteroid is going to hit in a few years so what does it matter? “Apres moi le deluge”. A proper free market should not allow this type of economic thinking to endure – but since the New Deal, America has been driven by consumers and government on eternal, semi-infinite CREDIT. I fail to see how it can be sustained indefinitely but, hell, just a few of us free market cranks think that way.

No discussion pointing out the inaccuracy of what Congressional leaders promise in promoting their legislation is complete without revisiting Teddy Kennedy and his statements on the Immigration Act of 1965. "First, our cities will not be flooded with a million immigrants annually. Under the proposed bill, the present level of immigration remains substantially the same.... Secondly, the ethnic mix of this country will not be upset.... Contrary to the charges in some quarters, [the bill] will not inundate America with immigrants from any one country or area, or the most populated and deprived nations of Africa and Asia.... In the final analysis, the ethnic pattern of immigration under the proposed measure is not expected to change as sharply as the critics seem to think.... It will not cause American workers to lose their jobs." Case closed.
