That may well be the case, you are right, unfortunately. It does probably mean that fundamental 'ground-up' reform to basically recreate the system in a fair manner, would probably have the effect of a nuclear bomb in the economy. It might be better in the end but the price would be high for the moment.
So how do we go about ratcheting back on improper spending and at the same time reapportioning the tax code in a fair manner, while at the same time keeping changes from being so violent as to kill the patient?
