Yup, I remember my Dad saying 60 years ago in the 40"s, "they promise you a pot in every kitchen, and a chicken in every pot."

Then in the 50's there was an add for Arpege perfume that said, "promise her anything thing, but give her Arpege."
He would say the politicians would say they would," promise you everything but give you Arpege."

And on and on right up-to 2008, "hope and change."

I think the big decision we are facing now is whether we want a large suffocating government, or a small efficient one doing what the founding fathers envisioned and designed.
