Fiscal cliff? Don’t tell the big government spenders.

One of the infuriating aspects of the current fiscal crisis is that, in countless ways large and small, very few people in Washington behave as if there is a fiscal crisis. The bureaucracy is living high… President Obama is conspicuously disinterested in doing any belt-tightening, in either his official duties or recreational activities. The lifestyle of the First Family is more appropriate to French royalty of old than the management team of a bankrupt nation teetering on the edge of a “fiscal cliff.”
