Good observations and comments, PA Cat. Perhaps a better way to describe what many of us are feeling right now is a kind of helpless resignation. I sometimes experience that. Overall, I have to believe that more people will wake up and, in the 2010 and 2012 elections, move these idiots out. But I think what most stuns us are the numbers being put out there by the President and the CBO. The numbers have more zeroes going out X many years that I just cannot relate to. And I’m the investments/finance field! It is staggering.
