NIMBY will prevail....
Everybody wants the govt to cut expenses, as long as it isn't an expense that benefits themselves...
I know well off retirees who don't want their SS cut, claim to be on a "fixed" income. That is bull, they have so much that "fixed" means nothing. Those with ample income should be spending more of it to boost the economy, to help those who have "broken" income. What I don't hear at all are complaints from the rich who live in my area. They KNOW they have it good, and aren't about to complain about losing a bit of income, or paying a bit more taxes. It isn't a good idea for the rich to complain, certainly not where the new jobless can hear it.
I do hear some whining from the rich in this forum.
and before you ubercons start using words like "class envy", my wife and I are somewhere in the top 15% of income and assets.
