We’re (United States) like a family that is overdrawn at the bank just when the parents need to send their kid to college, buy a computer and a D.S.L. line, and replace a gas-guzzling furnace. Whatever “strategic plan” that family has for advancement, it won’t get anywhere until it rebalances its books.

— Thomas Friedman, “Facts and Folly”

In other words, folks running the world’s oldest democracy need to get back to the basics. It’s not important. It’s S-U-P-E-R important.
