Those promises are really nothing new, though. That's what


politicians do. Neither the Democrats nor the Republicans would ever win an election if not for the promises they make...promises that are little more than pipe dreams. Voters eat those promises up like manna from heaven.

I agree that those voters are ultimately the source of the problem, though. There is no one else to blame in a government of, by and for the people. In a system where the government derives its power from the people, the people get the government they deserve. As I see it we simply look to government to do far too much...particularly at the federal level.
