I have had a fulfilling career as a pediatric neurosurgeon, which unfortunately included numerous instances where worst-case scenarios played out in the operating room. Good surgeons plan ahead for these possible events so that bad outcomes are minimized. But of course, few treatment plans will succeed if the doctor continually fails to make a proper diagnosis before surgery begins.
When I look at our nation’s massive federal debt, it is clear that Washington has chronically misdiagnosed the situation, which has resulted in a seemingly never-ending cycle of borrowing and spending. Much like a life-threatening disease, if the underlying cause is left unaddressed, patient recovery will seldom occur.

More spending by progressive elites financed by taxpayers and the middle class.
UC tuition hike earns a failing grade:
“The day after the Nov. 4 election, UC President Janet Napolitano—a former Arizona governor and U.S. secretary of Homeland Security — stunned many by proposing tuition hikes of up to 5% in each of the next five years. By 2019, tuition could reach $15,564.
It’s just common sense: If you’re trying to grab more money from university students and their parents, you should not be dramatically raising the pay of top brass..
That’s just dumb PR, losing politics and really bad policy.
Don’t ask the kids and their families to sacrifice while fattening the pocketbooks of your own already highly compensated chancellors.
That’s not fair to people in the real world of stressed taxpayers and parents struggling to pay their kids’ tuition.
It’s why the people’s elected representatives — starting with the governor — are up in arms about the University of California’s latest tone-deaf play to jack up some executives’ pay while squeezing more money out of students.”
