If by people in power now, you mean everyone in power, Repubs included, I couldn't agree more. As i stated above, Obama is doing his best to make the situation worse, and counteracting his campaign promises every step of the way. It is distressing to watch.
Its funny Al. (OK, not funny, wrong word choice). I probably would have agreed completely with you and just about everyone else on this board as little as two years ago regarding Dems. And then for whatever reason, the financial crisis grabbed me. I became obsessed with figuring out what caused it, and read voraciously on the subject. I can not say I understand completely now, because it is very complex and over my pay grade as they say. But I can say with a great deal of certainty that neither side gives a damn outside of lip service about you and me. There were opportunities on both sides of the aisle to stop things before they ruined our economy, and both sides were content to get their kickbacks and let e lobbiests dictate policy.
I guess I'm more cynical in that regard about both policies.
And yet, I counsel patience at the same time? It's weird. Obama inherited a cluster **** from W. Sadly, my patience with his administration is wearing out because he has made things worse, not better. My wife is a public school teacher and hasn't had a raise in three years, and there is a chance her positiowill be eliminated at the end of the school year, yet in his latest budget proposal, how many millions are earmarked for the arts in DC? (this coming from an art history and English major, i love the arts).
When you and I argue, it usually isn't because I disagree about the Dems, it is usually because your tone indicates you disagree about the Repubs. Both equally useless, incompetent and crooked, in my opinion.
Hmmm... must be cranky this morning.
