You know I see AA's point as most of the others. That said I view this as only the first of many of these things as we have borrowed ourselves into a hole that our kids will not get out of without a lot of pain.

Don't know the answer and the same old R & D blaming the each other will stop not that far down the road because sometime after 2014 the health care, medicare, soc sec, ( boomers retiring ) mess is something we can not barrow our way out of.

AA the hurting is just starting as we have as nation elected officials " who will help us " which is good until like a philosopher wrote, " democracy will fail when over 50% of the population learn they can vote themselves into the treasury" ( could have the quote verbiage off a little / been a while )


We are about there.
