Yet until Pat Buchanan started talking about these issues, most national leaders seemed to be clueless about what was going on in America. Prostrating themselves at the altar of a balanced budget, the politicians in Washington paid little attention to what was happening to the family budget. Then, Pat Buchanan steps forward to be the "voice of the voiceless," and the peoples' quiet desperation seems muted no longer...
