I read all of these Bloggs and I have come to realize this is the only forum in which people can vent. There is absolutely nothing else left which Americans can do. Voting is not effective, otherwise real leaders would be in office. I think American's hands are tied, otherwise none of this would be allowed to happen. You can have all of the Rush Limbaugh, Hannity, O'Reily or Savage shows out there, exposing corruption, but at best only surface modifications are achieved. Accept the reality of what is. It is too late to make a difference.

Greta,
I just don't think the Government gets it. Quit spending money. Cut back on expenses. Quit flying around the country wasting tax payers money. And I am sure, many, many other areas of Government are wasting millions of dollars. What is it Congress and the President don’t understand about that? I am just sick and frustrated by how Congress is totally out of touch with reality. Absolutely disregarding any analytical ability to not having foreseen this happening. I simply don't understand with all the information at their finger tips, why they aren't able to make intelligent decisions. I, a common man could foresee this 6 years ago without all of their sources of data. This scares me to think what the future holds with this type of thinking.
