The government will fix some issues only when the situation is so dire that the fix will necessitate an expansion of size and powers of the government.
Could and will are different things. At this point, I do not think that we are at the point of being unable to stop a default. I dont think we have the political will, or will have the will to change our negative course though - so in a sense, no, I dont think the gov can solve its issues.
Definitely not. We have the most irresponsible government in the history of this country right now
Not until we get rid of the politicians...
No
Can they? Sure. Will they? No.
Nope, government always gets bigger.
This has to be looked at from the frame of a highly irrational person, no other kind of people run for office. Their point of view is this, I'm spending other peoples moeny why should I give a shit if I fuck it all up.
Congressmen are highly rational. They are agents who represent themselves and a few key campaign contributors. They have one objective: to key elected. Everything else is a dog and pony show.
A good solution would be : http://www.govathome.com/
''Gov at Home is the requirement that our Congressmen and Senators live and work from their home districts and state capitols respectively creating a government of complete transparency and accountability. ''
Yes, one word.
Obama.
LOL no. Any cuts we make are jokes.
I see a couple ways out:
1) Another transformational technology like the internet- we would grow our way out.
2) We keep building a mountain of debt, but other countries give us a free pass for the sake of preserving the global economy.
3) We fire up the printing presses, effectively defaulting
Our obligations to our own citizens will sink us. Medicare, SS, Medicaid, and the new Healthcare bill will dominate spending. Unfortunately, the old have disproportionately high turnout...so cutting those programs will be tough. It is almost a tragedy of the commons: the seniors would rather have medicare as is for X more years than cut benefits/raise the minimum age to ensure long term solvency.
