[QUOTE="Bubblehead, post: 2861309, member: 14176"] That plan would have had to have been put in place at least a decade ago and would have had to include cuts and organizing. Cuts though, would have been wildly unpopular, require new legislation, and would have been politically damaging, so.... Someone on this site made a great analogy of a sick tree awhile back. He asserted that when you have a diseased tree, you have two choices. One, prune out the bad sections and let it regrow and fill back in,....or two, let it die and cut it off at the ground. Seems like the powers that be choose to gamble rather than make the tough choices that might have required self sacrifice politically....and now that tree is all but dead. [/QUOTE]
