I keep arguing this and people don't like it. The pain is necessary, we need people to be inconvenienced so they demand we solve the problem. Our greatest enemy is little stopgap solutions that kind of help people now at the cost of their future, like subsidizing oil to make gas prices cheaper.

It really sucks that people who are already having a hard time, people who don't have money or time, are going to be the first to feel the pain. There's definitely things we can do to help, but we all know that at least America isn't going to do those things. I just don't see a better way. Kicking the can down the road isn't going to help them either, it's just going to put them in a worse spot later.
