It occurred to me over the past couple days that there is simply no adult supervision in Washington. Like children, the politicians blunder ahead, spending all the way, heedless and careless of any consequences. Everybody wants something. Gimme, gimme, gimme. And, of course, it is spoiled children who are being indulged. They want it to be free. Nobody thinks about how (or even whether) to pay for it all. It's other people's money!
However, adults must think of consequences. I am an adult. And I know where things end up when children are running the kindergarten. Just ask the inhabitants of Anthony Fremont's town.
