Welcome to the party, pal! - Even the NY Times gets it in "Huge deficits may alter U.S. politics and global power": "Mr. Obama has published the 10-year numbers in part, it seems, to make the point that the political gridlock of the past few years, in which most Republicans refused to talk about tax increases and Democrats refuse to talk about cutting entitlement programs, is unsustainable." Hmmm...that sounds familiar.
