Todos los beneficios, ninguno de los costos

Yo sigo en lo del Cato. Lean esto y díganme si les hace acordar a algún otro país por ahí:

Sixty percent of Americans say the federal government has too much power and too much money, according to a Rasmussen poll released last month. And they're right. But what are they willing to do about it?

--

Analyzing two recent government reports on Social Security and Medicare, economist Bruce Bartlett reports that "federal taxes would have to rise by roughly 81% to pay all the benefits promised by these programs under current law."

Yet the American voter wants to head off our looming fiscal apocalypse by giving a haircut to NASA and raising taxes on booze and smokes. Sure, that'll cover it.
