Fighting To Maintain The Illusion

Robert Tracinski has a fantastic summary of what's going on across the nation as our debt bombs go off. It says what I've been thinking, but it does so better than I can. Rather than try to top his excellent prose, I'll just link and excerpt.

Link.

Excerpt:
(T)here is something deeper here than just favor-selling and vote-buying. There is something that almost amounts to a twisted idealism in the Democrats' crusade. They are fighting, not just to preserve their special privileges, but to preserve a social ideal. Or rather, they are fighting to maintain the illusion that their ideal system is benevolent and sustainable.
