Until voters can no longer be bribed by "entitlements", we are fighting a losing battle.

As long as there is a huge underclass, people who are not productive can continue to vote for more spending (mostly for themselves) and less taxes (of course for themselves). There is no hope of ever paying off the debt or even just balancing the budget. And the giving up of rights for the promise or illusion of "safety" cuts right across every demographic and class.
The lack of instant runoff voting coupled with an archaic electoral college concept make it impossible to break out of a two-party system (both of which want ever larger government with more power and never ending spending and corruption).
