"Since at least the 1930s, almost every governor and legislative leader has recognized the need for long-range planning. Yet we've remained a government that mostly deals with problems on an ad hoc basis, that reacts to crises rather than trying to anticipate and prevent them."
"Because of the failure to plan, and because of the resulting inability to take preventive action, we find ourselves trying to catch up with our problems rather than trying to control them: running, like the Red Queen in Alice in Wonderland, as fast as we can just to stay in place."   
— Mario Cuomo
