Probably sounds familiar to an American, huh?

Oh yea. There's a huge problem with governments becoming vested in failing systems. That's why a little revolution now and then is a good thing. Western (U.S. and many European) governments and economies are coming to the end of the postwar era. America's economy was based on a shattered European economy. Many of Europe's governments have their roots in the aftermath of the war.

Hopefully it won't take another war to sort things out.

Sorry. I'm not being too helpful, am I?
