Some of the political bite in the mandate to cut spending end taxes is removed by the relatively lower levels of public expectation of accomplishment in these areas. But the problem will not disappear, for the dissociation between the desires of the American people and their lack of willingness to pay the bill is a familiar political malady that plagues officeholders at every level of government.
