In 1835, Alexis de Tocqueville wrote in “Democracy in America”…”The American Republic will endure until the day Congress discovers that it can bribe the public with the public’s money…” Greece and Europe are just a little farther along in this process than is the U.S. Those angry and disbelieving crowds of public employees rioting in Athens demanding that someone, anyone, keep the spigot open on “full” are the harbringers of what faces most of the West very, very soon.
