I wonder if sequestraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaation has changed your life as much as it has mine?

I am a totally different car since the advent of sequestration. I don’t even make a single decision without thinking about the Big SSSSS!

Courage is not what is for breakfast in America anymore. Common sense and courage are in very, very short supply.

What is truly amazing is that at the State level, Governors and Legislatures routinely balance their budgets — well, except for California — every year.

Texas balances their budget for two years at a time. Of course, they are running a freakin’ surplus and that does help but it is not by accident.

On Earth as it is in Texas!

When are you moving here?

It’s not just the courage of the legislators-but the courage of their constituents as well. They live in fear of “what if”. What if we actually cut govt spending? What if….

The constituents in many cases believe the backward economics they were taught in school. Keynes only works on the blackboard. Classical economics is the way to go. They don’t have faith in themselves to accept responsibility for the consequences of their decisions-or they are risk averse-or even worse-they think the government and society owes them a lifestyle.

The courage of the politicians mimic the courage of their constituencies,
