Some quickie math: 41% of GDP is spent on government so approximately 41% of the workforce is government and government contractors or retirees dependent on the government or those receiving student loans… then add in their families …. then add in the fact that those who are not on the take are often apathetic or perhaps illegal fruit pickers (e.g. not voters) … – the majority of VOTERS are recipients (or expect to soon retire and receive payments themselves). The addiction to spending is deep and the aversion to pay for it (via taxes) is also deep – hence we have the deficit.

Both “factions” in the Welfare-Warfare Leviathan are playing their part – the Democrats protecting the high spending and the Republicans protecting the low taxing and hoping to score political points blaming the other for the “mess”.

The Super-Committee is just part of the Kabuki Theater on the Titanic on the way to hit the iceberg of Debtmageddon.
