Well I agree. But in 1980 it was far less of problem. It’s actually a very simple lesson in government. You can’t trust them with large amounts of money that aren’t owed today. Same as state pensions. Those pensions are why Cali is screwed.We don't have a shortfall we have a spending other people's money problem. SS is sound and owed Trillions by our government spending it on other ****.
SS is not the problem, It's the theft from it and trying to abolish it to keep from repaying with interest.
The Cato Institute is a libertarian think tank founded by Charles G. Koch and funded by the Koch brothers. It is headquartered in Washington, D.C. The Institute states that it favors policies "that are consistent with the traditional American principles of limited government, individual liberty, and peace."[1] Cato scholars conduct policy research on a broad range of public policy issues and produce books, studies, op-eds, and blog posts. They are also frequent guests in the media.
The Cato Institute is an "associate" member of the State Policy Network, a web of right-wing “think tanks” in every state across the country.[2] They are also part of the international Atlas Group network with links to the Institute for Humane Studies. The Independent Institute seems to operate as a Cato subsidiary.
Where ideology and science part company, Cato favors ideology, as shown by an advertisement[3] published in newspapers in 2009 disputing the state of the science on climate change.[4]

Lots of states have pensions. Which ones have failed thus far? If the 8th largest economy in the worlds pension funds fail, that would be something. Catch up with you later, man.Well I agree.

Walk into any bank, finance company or car dealer and say the letters CFPB and you'll get an eyeroll. Their rulemaking has taken lenders out of many market segments which has made credit harder to come by.Which measurement do you want to use to say it's bad and who is it bad for?
Credit was hard to come by before the CFPB and after it was easier. Those same segments you listed had to be bailed out because they gave to anyone and had to tighten their aholes.Walk into any bank, finance company or car dealer and say the letters CFPB and you'll get an eyeroll.

This is an oversimplification, but it's the first of what I'm saying. How This Government Agency Hurts Us All
