The table below gives examples of two critical reform issues that are understood by some to represent very serious threats to the current and future liberties available to most citizens of any nation. Excessive public sector spending and debt, and policies that reduce or eliminate productive "economy" among many of the individuals within our societies.

Developed Topic Treatment
Spending	Fiscal Balance, Pensions, Health Care, Defense, Taxation
Undeveloped Topic Treatment
Economy	Taxes, Competitiveness, Regulation
More examples of ignored reform topics may be developed.

Not everyone agrees that our nation's fiscal and economic situations represent threats, or, if they do, many don't see these as threats to them, nor do they believe they need to be acted on now.

I will not discuss here (but will elsewhere) why some recognize the urgent dangers and the ethical and moral issues surrounding the status quo discussed above, and why some do not. Those explanations lie in the areas of the varied analytical and the emotional appeal filters that different people are built with. They will be presented elsewhere.

However, it is notable that even those who do recognize the urgency of the problems are not doing any REAL things about them. The fact is that they cannot because the MAJORITY do not recognize the current status quo as a problem needing to be dealt with. Many readers may argue with that characterization, but let's dispense with semantics. If they were believed to be threats that must be dealt with, they would be getting dealt with. Our democracy is an insufficient government format within which politicians capable of resolving these issues can get and stay elected given the current citizenry.

Thus, these issues represent some of those which will continue corroding the economic and socially cohesive foundations of our nation until failure occurs. Just as it has occurred in the past with nations other than our own. And, as with all failures, physical or economic, once they begin it is generally too late to escape negative consequences.

Continued growth of these problems appear inevitable. That is why ConserveLiberty is not being developed as a "Reform Advocacy Web Resource," but rather as a resource that may be turned to AFTER the reckoning, assuming that it is still available and that a demographic within the surviving remnant recognizes its value.
