We are in the politics of free everything. Both Republicans and democrats are content to run (two) trillion-dollar deficits; left-wing/democrats fight even modest Medicaid cuts and are about to propose a new federal spending spree. In blue states, incompetent left-wing/democratic governance worsens the problem locally (hello, Chicago), forcing average people to pay high property taxes for bloated local bureaucracies and lousy public schools. It is no accident huge numbers of public employees in states like Illinois and New York retire in their fifties — sometimes their forties — and take themselves south to enjoy their lifetime pensions. Those pensions are inflation-adjusted, too, making retired public servants the rare middle-class workers who don’t worry much about rising prices.
Would the public accept an honest conversation about the main cause of inflation—government spending and debt, and leaders who explain that short-term pain for everyone — including the wealthy, whose stocks and other financial assets would likely be hurt — may be necessary to squeeze the excesses from the system?

History rhyming again. IN 1789 French revolutionaries confidently believe that a natural and reasonable order could appear in human affairs if the old order were to be swept away. That French revolution which was supposed to be a cure for the French economy, only succeeded in wrecking it further, and doing so with a carnival of blood.
