Yeah, but: The rapid erosion of said snow pack is going to be hardly noticed because most of the media do not really want it to be measured. The yellowish pee-hole-in-the-snow, in contrast, is widely visible. Leaders must lead, and that includes visible belt-tightening in tough times. Regardless whether its financial impact is miniscule in the grand scheme of things and regardless of how much was screwed up by them and how much by unions or other influences.

Ah, yes, the great American fiction... image over substance :-(


To some extent, yes. But it all has to do with leadership. In the same way that a sergeant can't send his troops into the heat of things while remaining in his command tent sipping coffee. A good leader would never even think of doing that.
