Dam, I always forget. The Deficit has nothing to do with the Bankers greed nor the collapse of Pension Funds…
Oh, so the answer to the problem of monopolies caused by the government is ... more government? Just take away the monopolies. Plus, the vast majority of the private sector are not state granted monopolies.

But the central point is that governments cannot spend more than they take in forever. A reckoning was inevitable. Either drastic spending cuts or extreme tax increases.
