Jay doesn't get it, at least from my perspective. He is not looking at the idiots in the Fed government that are making decisions that will drive this country to 3rd world status, not in terms of infrastructure but in terms of economic and social breakdown. We need leadership that can provide a vision for the future that addresses real education reform to compete in the global enconomy, reduced energy dependence (30+ years to do something and where have gone? nowhere), incentives for folks to become less dependent on the gov, income disparity,..... I believe the Fed gov has taking the easy route, to which they control the Armed Services, by starting a war that is ecomomically driven whether its the influence our country's future oil needs or in support of the US war machine (don't under estimate the power that these folks have on helping set foreign policy. Many of these folks are ex-military). -Q
