A Star Wars insight...
"Popular rule is not democracy, Ani. It gives the people what they want, not what they need." (Padmé Amidala, The Clone Wars)
The FSA and their liberal sympathizers voted for the clown now running America, so the traitor Napolitano is doing just that; giving the people want they think they want.
Were life as simple as an economics graph, all things being equal and only a single changing variable, the people would see that "We should not have made this bargain." (Rune Haako of The Trade Federation, The Phantom Menace)
Unfortunately, government handouts, easy money, cheap consumer goods, and "entertainment" of a prurient nature (brought to you by our version of the Trade Federation) mask the slide just enough for the majority of people to believe the lie, and they will be just as disposable as they were in the movies.
