    One of the big problems is good, lasting solutions are rarely quick, easy solutions. And most people want solutions now, not 5, 10, or 20 years from now. And let’s not even mention how long we neglected these problems to let them get this big. But don’t worry, prisons and policemen aren’t expensive at all, not like schooling and social programs.

      I think politicians are getting very close to being handed a mandate from the public that doesn’t include “good” solutions but mean, punitive ones.
