"It's Not Only About the Economy, Stupid"
I'm thinking that most elected officials are aware of this; however, they intentionally don't call attention to it, as it's detrimental to their existence...
Ken Blackwell recently wrote about it at TownHall.com:
"The grassroots grumbling is not just about money. It’s about freedom. The people are justifiably annoyed that their pockets are being picked; but they know that the loss of their God-given, Constitutionally-guaranteed freedoms is as grave a concern.
The past eighteen months have been a brutal assault on liberty. As government grows, personal freedoms shrink. The private industry buy-offs and bailouts, cap-and-trade, the government takeover of health care. The price tags are bad enough; but what’s truly frightening is how they diminish freedom."
