SNAFU - kick the can down the street while the situation gets worse while pretending that ignoring the problems will somehow resolve them. On the other hand this tactic may have some unexpected consequences, given the American public's notoriously short memory, having a looming Gubment slim down every two or three months might get a few of the zombies to wake up in October 2014. Even better, it ought to make all of the politicians look like the smacked asses that they are. I can only hope that having a dirty diaper rubbed in the public's face over and over will get enough people to realize this mess is what they voted for.
I can explain it to you but I can't understand it for you.
"Any man who thinks he can be happy and prosperous by letting the Government take care of him; better take a closer look at the American Indian." - Henry Ford
Corruptissima re publica plurimae leges; When the Republic is at its most corrupt the laws are most numerous. - Publius Cornelius Tacitus
