OT Good (Dial busted) Morning

I was struck by the credit to Mr. Obama's task force in the DOJ press release (guess they want to keep their jobs). Maybe I shouldn't have said anything nice about politicians. Anyway, here's where I'm comming from.

I tend to be cynical about both parties as legislators vote to secure their next campaign contribution & postpone addressing our nation's problems.

7 years of fighting another endless war with thousands of American dead.
Social Security System going bankrupt just as I need it & after I paid taxes into it for 40 years (sounds like a Ponzi scheme).
The most expensive health care system in the world with the highest drug prices in the world (and a higher infant mortality rate than Cuba & 27 other countries).
A deregulated financial system that generated a housing price bubble, oil price bubble, and nearly imploded (we don't need no stinking Glass Steagall).

The solution:
We'll just sell more Treasury bonds and let the next administration deal with it (this includes Mr. Obama)

When things really fall apart I think the Nation will turn hard Right - guess we'll see.

Just my opinion

PS Notanindex You post about Mr. Obama:

"...his foreign policy is worse than a third graders attempt at it."

I've been told that George W. Bush had graduated from the third grade long ago LOL.
