I am of the belief that the Nolan Batman trilogy focuses on the wanting for tearing the system down impulse found in humans. People want the revolution and the reset. The consequences of such is never pleasant. Plenty will die. If people now aren't doing what they need to, in order to maintain life and civilization, they certainly aren't when freed of the compulsions by the system to do so, and lacking the resources to do so. I saw this destructive impulse in Occupy, among numbers of people in it. And I see it political today by those who just want to burn the government to the ground.

For the deficit, both budget cuts and increasing taxes aren't doable politically in the United States.
