> OP was referring to regulations rather than debt or entitlements.

One can clearly offer these differentiations, but it's all so much Utopian Progressivism that has simply not withstood the test of time, if we're being honest about the debt.

But honesty scales like Utopian Progressivism, so expect continued ignoring of the problem until the economy 'splodes and the "experts" stand around looking aghast.



Er, as far as I can tell, the debt explosion is accelerating, and I'm pretty sure that those responsible right now are not Utopian Progressives.


"right now" is working hard here.

But this gets at why precedent is such a cautionary thing.
