#1 When one thinks of gov't, especially poor gov't, we tend to think in terms of elected officials. The real danger lies not in elected officials who can be eventually voted out. The real danger lies in career civil servants such as the IRS's Lois Lerner who cannot easily be gotten rid of. People like Lerner tend to rapidly multiply. When indolence, greed, and incompetence become institutionalized in vast numbers, recovery is quite difficult if not hopeless.

#2 Appears to me some folks who are dependent on a GIvernment check are starting to get better at math. Watching Detroit, California and Chicago drift to 3rd world status I suspect the poll numbers will drop even further.

At what poll number does DC turn into Cairo?
