Quote of the day--on fairness

"At the heart of this discussion is the issue of fairness. Are we willing to continue consuming now at the expense of our children and grandchildren's welfare? Are we really willing to see ordinary people without jobs and losing their homes at the same time that we preserve lower taxes for the wealthy?"  


--Linda J. Bilmes, The Los Angeles Times
